Cranmore Chronicle 10th July 2019 Editor: Mrs S Watkinson
Dear Parents, We have enjoyed a fantastic few days, starting with The Young Musician Final on Monday and the stunning performance of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory that evening. Last night, we hosted our cricket and rounders fixtures for parents which was a great social occasion. We have also witnessed the launch of the Cranmore CD, a real feast of wonderful music and singing. Continuous professional development is a high priority at Cranmore and so I offer my congratulations to two colleagues who have just received the results for their academic endeavours. Dr Verny White has received a Distinction for her PGCE and Mr Hodgson has been awarded an MA in Professional Practice with Distinction. As ever, we say farewell to several pupils and colleagues today. We trust that they will have fond memories of their time within the Cranmore community and we wish them well in whatever they do. Yours sincerely, Michael Connolly

The Cranmore Challenge The 6th Form finished their Cranmore Challenge on Friday afternoon, when each team presented their products to the judging panel of Mr Connolly and Mr Martin. Congratulations to the boys for their hard work. We are sure that there are some future entrepreneurs among them!
