4 JULY 2022 Message from the Headmaster
Last weekend our Year 8 pupils travelled to Calshot for their residential and enjoyed rock climbing, kayaking, indoor skiing, cycling in the velodrome and many other activities. At the same time, Cranmore families were pitching their tents on the Henderson Fields for the annual Crancamp. The weather was glorious and children had the opportunity to play in the grounds and forest school and enjoy a sumptuous barbecue cooked by the parents. It was another superb event organised by the CPA. I would like to thank all the parents involved in running such events throughout the year as they help to bring our community closer together. On Tuesday, we welcomed all the pupils joining Cranmore in September to the school for an induction day. We are delighted that so many families will be joining us next year. In particular, there is huge interest in our senior school with four classes in the Year 7 cohort. Congratulations to our Year 6 pupils on their terrific cricket performance in winning the Parkside 6s tournament this week. Some of our Year 7 tennis players were very fortunate to spend the day on Court One at Wimbledon and savoured the atmosphere at the world-famous event. It has been an exceptional time at Cranmore with so much to appreciate this year. We have received the top grading in our ISI inspection, had record attendance at Open Mornings, witnessed incredible musical performances during our visit from Nicola Benedetti, been privileged to watch the fabulous performances of Bugsy Malone and, from a sporting context, observed over 1000 fixtures with our pupils winning regional and national titles. What has impressed me most of all is the enthusiasm with which our pupils embrace challenge and the drive they demonstrate to do their best in every situation. My enormous gratitude to the pupils, parents and staff for their efforts in making this such a memorable year at Cranmore. I wish everyone a wonderful summer break.
Mr Everitt
