10 JANUARY 2022 Message from the Headmaster It was a delight to welcome everyone back this week for the start of the new term. We received some exceptional LAMDA results over the holidays. It is a real credit to the pupils who have worked extremely hard in preparation for the exams and in doing so, they developed confidence in the important skill of public speaking. Congratulations to Teddy, Sean and Alexander for qualifying for the bonus round of the National Primary Maths Challenge. Well done to William in Year 5 who was recently involved in the Pianothon and raised a considerable amount for a very worthy charitable cause. In keeping with our broad approach to a well-rounded education, we continue to look for opportunities to invite key educational speakers to Cranmore to enhance the learning environment for our pupils. We are fortunate to have Caroline Penney, a specialist who has worked in child mental health, visiting our school next week. She will be running workshops on anxiety awareness and highlighting strategies that pupils can use in everyday life. We are also excited to welcome climate scientist, Michelle Horsfield, to Cranmore on the 24 th January. She will be speaking to the Senior pupils about current research and the personal responsibility we all hold in protecting the environment for future generations. On Monday we will be holding 11+ and 13+ assessments in the Sports Hall for a large number of external candidates. We will have additional staff in the car park but I would like to apologise in advance if the morning drop off is busier than usual. Have a wonderful weekend.
Mr Everitt
