1 NOVEMBER 2021 Message from the Headmaster It was wonderful to welcome everyone back to Cranmore this week for the second half of term. There was tremendous excitement in the Upper Prep and Senior School in preparation for Action Day. The pupils proved immensely entertaining reciting poetry, singing, acting and performing throughout the day. A special thank you to Mr Harris for arranging the event. Thank you for the generous donations. The funds raised to support our local charity Cherry Trees will be greatly appreciated. In assembly this week we have highlighted the importance of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow. Throughout the coming weeks teachers will be discussing the importance of individuals, communities and governments playing their part in protecting the planet for future generations. On Saturday morning, a number of Cranmore teams will play in the annual Henkes Shield tournament against Rokeby School. The competition began in 1983 and over the years the results have been finely balanced with the Rokeby’s winning tally slightly ahead of Cranmore’s at 18 - 17. This year is an opportunity to balance the scales. Cranmore as holders will need to be outright winners by a half point to retain the trophy. The very best of luck to all those teams involved. I shall be enthusiastically supporting from the side-lines. That same evening, we are also looking forward to the Cranmore Fireworks display. The weather forecast looks favourable and it promises to be an entertaining evening with the eagerly anticipated event sold out. Thank you to the CPA for arranging the evening and I forward to see you there.
Mr Everitt
