5th OCTOBER 2020
Message from the Headmaster Traditionally, during this first half term of the academic year, you will have had the opportunity to come into school for information evenings, Mass, sports fixtures or perhaps a music assembly. For now, we are embracing other ways for you to ‘meet’ with us. Whilst these are online rather than onsite, I hope that many of you have been able to experience life at the school by watching our new Welcome to Cranmore video. I know the pupils are excited about preparing for our Action Day, which will take place on Friday, just before halfterm. Action Day is a longstanding event at Cranmore, giving pupils in our Upper Prep and Senior School the opportunity to perform a talent. The performances have always been varied including poetry reading, telling a joke, playing a musical instrument or performing a drama sketch. This is also an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for our associated charity, Mary’s Meals. A representative from the charity spoke during our online assembly about the wonderful work they are able to undertake with help from our Cranmore community. There were some notable successes for our pupils outside school in equestrian and karting competitions. Congratulations to those pupils. Mr Hodgson has been busy liaising with external specialists who wish to create new sporting development centres at the school, in both cricket and hockey. Finally, I would like to thank all the pupils, parents, governors and guests for joining us on Thursday for a thoughtprovoking Harvest Liturgy. It reminded us that we should be grateful for the gifts we have been given and to share with others who may be in need.
Mr Everitt
