15th MARCH 2021
Message from the Headmaster Dear Parents, We have had another exceptional week at Cranmore with pupils participating in an abundance of exciting events and activities. I would like to congratulate the Year 6 pupils who took part in the Rotary Young Writer Competition; they received glowing praise from the judges and their work was highly commended. It is hugely encouraging to see our pupils using the school facilities each week, in particular the Year 3 and 4 children involved in hockey, the Year 5 girls playing touch rugby and the Year 7 and 8 pupils immersed in cricket and tennis. We are also delighted to have strengthened our relationship with the Chelsea Foundation. They have launched a new predevelopment centre at Cranmore to give children an opportunity to extend their love of football.
Pupils in the Upper Prep School are invited to take part in the exciting Reading Challenge to complete five books chosen by the English Department before the 7th of June. Good luck to all the pupils involved. Year 2 have been learning about Kenya, a country I managed to visit a number of years ago, and I was very interested to see the detailed clothing and intricate necklaces designed by the pupils. On Wednesday, I was happy to be joined by Miss Gallop and a number of pupils wearing some green items of clothing for St Patrick’s Day. I explained to the pupils that although the Patron Saint of Ireland was originally from England, there will be the usual rivalry between the two sides when they face each other in the rugby Six Nations this weekend! Have a lovely weekend. Mr Everitt
