21 MARCH 2022 Message from the Headmaster
It has been a wonderful week at school with the pupils immersed in activities, performances and presentations, topped off with an excellent inspection report from the Independent Schools Inspectorate. The Year 4 performance of Plastic Pirates raised awareness about plastic waste and the impact on our oceans. I was impressed with the creativity of the costumes made from recycled materials. The Music department welcomed Glenesk school to a musical workshop before a collaborative performance to parents. It was a highly successful week of sport. Our U11 team were undefeated at the Rosslyn Park Rugby 7s, the U13 hockey sides played superbly well against Hall Grove and Thomas's Battersea and our swimming team won their gala against ACS, Cobham. Our inspection report was a delight to read, and I was thrilled to be able to share it with you this week. The Educational Quality grading of ‘Excellent’ in all areas is a real credit to pupils, staff, parents and governors. I am immensely grateful to everyone for their hard work and incredible contribution to school life at Cranmore. One of my favourite comments from the inspection is, ‘Pupils make an outstanding contribution to the lives of others in the school and the wider community.’ This resonates with some of the fundamentals of education at Cranmore, to nurture pupils who achieve academically but also have outstanding moral awareness and be active supporters in the wider community. Have a lovely weekend. Mr Everitt
