22 NOVEMBER 2021 Message from the Headmaster On Monday morning the car park was invaded by Vikings as Year 3 took part in Viking Day. The children thoroughly enjoyed the historical re-enactment from the Middle Ages and had an opportunity to take part in spear wrestling, rowing, quizzes and workshops. Year 3 have also been busy in the classroom investigating the scientific principles of light while our Nursery children have been learning about habitats and how animals have adapted to live in extreme temperatures. Good luck to the budding artists involved in the Carol Service Programme Competition. I am looking forward to judging the artwork in the coming weeks. We held St Andrew’s Day Mass on Wednesday this week. Thank you to Fr. Stephen for coming to celebrate the mass at Cranmore and to all the parents and Governors who were able to join us online. I have been extremely
impressed with the level of support that our community has shown this term. Families donated generously during our Harvest festival with all gifts going to Leatherhead Start homeless charity. Action Day gave all the Upper Prep and Senior School pupils the opportunity to display their individual talents and raised a thousand pounds for Cherry Trees. Pupils also donated Christmas gifts as part of the Shoebox Appeal and Year 6 are taking time to write Christmas cards to residents at Dene Place Care Home in West Horsley. It has been a superb effort from our Cranmore community to care for others. I wrote to you last week with details of additional measures being adopted to keep our school safe. Today we received additional guidance form our local authority following increased case numbers in Surrey. They strongly recommend that, for the remainder of this term, face coverings are worn by staff and visitors in communal areas (excluding classrooms) in the Lower Prep, Upper Prep and Senior school. In addition, pupils in our Senior school are
also advised to wear face coverings in communal areas. Thank you for your continued help and support.
Mr Everitt
