27 SEPTEMBER 2021 Message from the Headmaster On Saturday morning, we hosted over 120 families from other schools at our Cranmore U8 and U10 football events. Cranmore pupils in Year 3 and 5 showed exceptional talent and commitment reaching the final and semi-final respectively. It was a tremendous team effort by everyone involved. Thank you to all the pupils, parents and staff in attendance. I thoroughly enjoyed the assembly presentation by 3CS on Wednesday morning and the theatrical performance of the Emperor’s Story. The pupils acknowledged that sometimes it can be challenging to follow our Golden Rule of honesty, however, it is of the utmost importance in our Cranmore community. Music has a strong tradition at Cranmore and benefits include enhancing memory skills and boosting selfconfidence. The number of pupils across the school who have auditioned to join choirs has been impressive. Thank you to the music department for offering a range of choirs to support wide participation amongst our pupils.
Year 6 pupils met this week with leader of Guildford Borough Councillor, Mr Bigmore. After an insightful and informative presentation, the pupils were able to ask questions about their local area, government structures and council funding for future projects. They certainly understood the determination, drive and resilience needed to make changes in our community and appreciated that these aspects of our value of Character are vitally important as we make our way through life. We will be welcoming a record number of families to our Open Day on Saturday and the school will be looking its very best. I am very grateful to the pupils who have been asked to assist, giving up part of their weekend. I know they will be excellent ambassadors for our school. Mr Everitt
