Cranmore Chronicle 3 May 2019 Editor: Mrs S Connolly
Dear Parents I firmly believe that the new partnership with St Teresa’s School represents an exciting development for Cranmore. There are many benefits, not least the provision of high quality education for boys and girls across the entire 2-18 age range. Next term I shall begin my 40th year in education having spent most of that time as a Headmaster. Therefore, I think it would be the right time to retire rather than continue with the full implementation of this programme. However, I know you will share my delight that Barry Everitt, who has been a real asset at Cranmore, will ensure we have a seamless transition. I must thank Paul Hodgson, supported by Barry, for giving us such a remarkable experience at the London Irish match last week. It really was a fantastic day and I am sure the boys and girls will treasure their memories of the occasion for years to come. Staying with sport, it was a real joy to see Miss Gallop in the Marathon last Sunday. Standing at the side, Shelagh & I cheered her on as she passed the 35 Km mark whilst she looked as if it was a gentle jog. I was truly inspired and I have entered the ballot for the 2020 one……..I shall discover my fate in October when they announce the lists. Yours sincerely Michael Connolly
