LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS
When it comes to home design, we frequently turn established ideas around. In so doing, we create opulent living spaces, where we marry function and form perfectly. Sometimes structural change is the answer, often we implement a simple juxtaposition to improve the whole scheme. At One Way, we challenge perceptions with new thinking, methods and materials. Our mantra is design excellence in all we do and our exclusive service covers every aspect of
the home. Success in each area sees the continuing growth and transformation of our business, as we increasingly receive major commissions, to design and develop prestigious properties across the UK. We are currently undertaking the complete refurbishment of our showroom building in Southport. Upon completion, the new kitchen studios will house sets from each of our three brands, Contemporary, Architecture and Hand Made. When fully finished our multi-level showrooms will feature
every aspect of home design from sumptuous bathrooms and bedrooms to examples of our unique ranges of designer furniture, lighting, mirrors, accessories and more. Throughout our refurbishment we continue to be open and fully operational. Please check our website for opening times. Thanks to all our clients for their support during this period. Call 01704 544622 for a refurbishment update prior to visiting.

FEATURE | CLARKE & CLARKE
Inspiring both consumers and designers... For the past 17 years Clarke & Clarke has developed an enviable reputation for producing some of the most beautiful fabrics and wallcoverings to adorn our walls and windows. With two new collections launched every year, they continually lead the way with innovative designs that reflect today’s trends.
A
t the heart of Clarke & Clarke’s creative vision is the partnership of husband and wife team, Lee and Emma Clarke. Founded in 1999, they began with an ambition to create products that would inspire both consumers and interior designers but which would crucially be underpinned by impeccable service. Now the company distributes fabrics and wallcoverings to over 90 countries and their energy and enthusiasm has certainly delivered against their ambition to provide quality, innovation and excellence in customer service. Based in rural Cheshire, the dedicated design studio ensures that Clarke & Clarke collections are always on trend in both design and colour. For each new collection, research begins months in advance and can involve anything from trips to foreign countries through to taking inspiration from the catwalk. LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS

“ Working regularly with interior designers and stylists, Clarke and Clarke’s relentless pursuit for the next ‘big thing’ can often result in some inspired collaborations” One of their latest collections, Black and White, was inspired in just this way when their designers took inspiration from an exotic trip to Morocco. Tiles, mosaics and trellis patterns have been translated into black and white geometric weaves in a curation that brings together velvets & embroideries, essential plains and statement patterns. When teamed with a pop of bright colour, the resulting contrast brings a bold contemporary feel to your interior. Working regularly with interior designers and stylists, Clarke and Clarke’s relentless pursuit for the next ‘big thing’ can often result in some inspired collaborations, none more exciting than their recent work with New York artist Kim Parker. This luscious range came from Kim’s desire to ‘create wallpapers and fabrics that transform rooms into lush, exuberant interior gardens’. A cacophony of fabulous florals, thirteen pieces of Kim’s original art were carefully translated into beautiful printed linen, velvet fabrics and digital wallpapers that when teamed with plain velvets or stripes creates a colourful but sophisticated look. In contrast to the florals of the Kim Parker collection is the eclectic nature of the Chateau collection, inspired by visits to Paris and the refined chic of a grand Parisian hotel. Chateau epitomises distinctive elegance with luminous damasks alongside an eclectic mix of bold stripes, luxury animal patterns and intricate geometrics. The black and white weaves are brought alive when sat alongside rich golden furnishing and cushions, and by clashing animal prints with geometrics you can create a home that is truly unique. 12

THE VIEW WITH AN EVER-GROWING RANGE OF WORLD-CLASS TOURIST ATTRACTIONS DRAWING IN RECORD VISITOR NUMBERS, NORTH WALES IS DEVELOPING ITS REPUTATION AS A LUXURY HOLIDAY DESTINATION. St David’s Park in Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey, is a striking example of how visitors to the area are looking for higher-end experiences.
The investment - of more than £1million - comes after St David’s Park launched The View, a prestigious development of 14 individual lodges with breathtaking views across the coast.
This spring St David’s Park will also open an indoor pool and luxury spa designed to help visitors relax and relieve the tensions of everyday life.
Visit www.theview.wales
Area sales manager Ciara Davies said: “The indoor pool will be specifically for holiday home owners. The new spa will offer a wide range of luxury treatments, relaxation lounge, nail bar & pedicure section.”
Along with the spa and swimming pool, the new owners of these luxury lodges will benefit from 24hour gated security and have access to the park’s private beach, boat park and slipway as well as its award-winning gastro pub The Tavern on the Bay. Ciara explained:
The View’s lodges are bespoke with cedar-clad exteriors that are sympathetic to each natural setting, and modern touches such as bi-folding doors and striking architectural roofs. The interiors are high-end, with options such as oak worktops, a freestanding bath, wine chiller, sound and media system throughout and, on the decked area, a hot tub.
“The lodges enjoy breathtaking views across the beach towards the Great Orme in the distance. With the addition of the new swimming pool and spa, St. David’s park is now the complete luxury high end holiday resort.”
Brand New Luxury Swimming Pool & Spa Now Open
We welcome you to make an appointment to view the development and speak to us about your vision for your ideal luxury lodge holiday home here on The View.

REDROW ANNOUNCES PHASE TWO
OF HARTFORD GRANGE REDROW has launched the second phase of its popular Hartford Grange development in Cheshire. It will include an even broader spectrum of homes from its stunning Heritage Collection in the thriving and popular village, near Northwich. Houses will now include the impressive four-bedroom Welwyn property, the exterior of which exudes classic English charm in every detail. With a generous family, dining and kitchen area that brings everyone together, it also offers a separate lounge which is perfect for when you want a little time to yourself. Upstairs are four good sized bedrooms, the master of which has a luxurious en-suite, along with a beautiful family bathroom. The Welwyn is superbly equipped, matching the attention to detail shown all Redrow Heritage Collection properties, including the larger five-bedroom properties like the Blenheim. Country living has never been so impressive nor affordable with the Blenheim offering a formal dining room as well as en-suites to two of its bedrooms and the master benefiting from a walk in wardrobe as well. The Blenheim is designed to enhance your lifestyle. Kitchens in all house styles feature the latest in integrated, energy-saving appliances from leading brand manufacturers
such as Siemens, Smeg and AEG. There are four and fivebedroom properties currently available from £429,995. Jason Newton, sales director for Redrow Homes (NW) said: “We are delighted to announce the launch of the second phase of this fabulous development which won five stars for the Best Residential Development in Cheshire at the UK Property Awards 2015. “We are so proud of this development and we believe people will be proud to live here too. Hartford Grange delivers the very best in country living, beautiful and well-thought out homes in a picturesque area steeped in local history.” Yet Hartford is only five miles away from the M6 which means commuting by road is a doddle, providing easy access to major cities like Manchester. Hartford Station offers services to Crewe, Liverpool and beyond while Greenbank Station, just over a mile away, has regular direct trains to Chester, Stockport and Manchester. What's more London Euston is a mere two-hour journey, and Manchester Airport is only a half hour drive away.

Golf Course
Country Properties on a par with the very best The housebuilder is creating an exquisite collection of homes in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, just 10 miles from Chester and adjacent to the Carden Park Hotel estate. Jason Newton, sales director for Redrow Homes (NW), said: “Stretton Green has a spectacular setting. The vision was to create a collection of bespoke luxury country homes and that is exactly what we are doing.” Stretton Green sits next to the 1,000 acre Carden Park estate which boasts two golf courses, including one designed by Jack Nicklaus, which residents are positively encouraged to enjoy through a bespoke leisure package. It includes a two-year full membership of the golf club as well as extensive use of the hotel’s spa facilities - and there is private access straight onto the golf course. Jason added: “Each home has been carefully designed to sit harmoniously with the local vernacular. Architects have taken inspiration from impressive manor houses and charming country cottages nearby, and is part of an exclusive collection, one which commands security and seclusion as well as luxury.” Indeed Redrow’s bespoke development won the coveted Gold Award at the 2013 What House? Awards for Best Exterior Design and was Highly Commended in the Best Development in Cheshire category at the UK Property Awards 2015. The Courtyard at Stretton Green has a choice of eight brand new two, three, and four-bedroom properties arranged in a horseshoe
layout around landscaped grounds. The mews-style houses emulate the design of traditional farm cottages and complement the detached country houses already built at the luxury venture, with prices starting from £276,995. And there are larger, five bedroom detached properties too from which style and class simply ooze. The five bedroom Normande, from £949,995, is an impressive and imposing property, of the highest specification and overlooking the traditional village green. It boasts endless architectural flourishes and authentic period detail, and offers the perfect balance between family and formal living, togetherness and personal space. There is a suite of entertaining rooms, including a formal dining room and a drawing room as well as a spacious open plan family area, and you will also find a gym, a boot room, a media room and utility. Upstairs you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the finest of five star hotels with exquisite double bedrooms, two of which include quality fitted wardrobes, and three bedrooms boast en suites with the master bedroom also benefiting from a dressing room. Similarly Medric, from £1,200,000, is a double fronted, beautifully balanced executive home that will inspire and impress from
the magnificent entrance and throughout. The ground floor caters for every family need, featuring a formal drawing room, dining room, study, downstairs cloaks and an expansive kitchen, family and breakfast room spanning the entire width of the property. The kitchen also leads into a storage room and boot room, perfect for country living with its own access outdoors. Upstairs you’ll find five double bedrooms, including a beautiful master suite with dressing room and luxurious en suite bath and shower room with twin basins. Bedrooms two and three also benefit from an en suite. Part exchange is available on selected Redrow homes, as long as the value of the property being traded in is worth at least 35% less than the chosen home. Redrow has the existing property valued and then an offer could be made within 48 hours. If the seller is happy with the offer, they’ll be able to reserve their brand new Redrow home virtually straight away. For more information on the homes at Stretton Green go online and visit www.redrow.co.uk/stretton. Or for the latest availability you can call one of our friendly sales team on 01829 458977.

ARTHOUSE CREATIVE INTERIORS WINS HONOURED NATIONAL KITCHEN AND BATHROOM AWARD The much anticipated event marked 22 years of the national awards, which are organised by the UK’s leading publication for the kitchen and bathroom industry, kbbreview magazine. In attendance were many of the most esteemed names in the sector, as well as the evening’s celebrity host, Dara Ó Briain. Julie Otulakowski, Managing Director for Arthouse Creative Interiors, says: ‘Myself and the rest of the team at ArtHouse are extremely proud and honoured to have been granted this prestigious award, and feel humbled for the recognition of our hard work. Our showroom expansion has proved hugely successful among our clients, suppliers, Architects and Interiors Designers; who have seemingly been very impressed by passing comments such as ‘this is the best showroom
we have visited!’ Our plans for the next 12 months are very exciting, and we are currently looking to expand further, seeking additional designers to join our team at ArtHouse Creative Interiors’ Tim Wallace, editor of kbbreview, says: “We would like to extend our many congratulations to Arthouse Creative Interiors on winning the Kitchen Showroom of the Year award and wish them every success in the future. We received a record-breaking number of entrants this year and, as ever, the standard was extremely high, so to be named a winner is a major accomplishment”. LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS

Testimonial from client Over the years we extended our house as the family grew but found there were areas on the ground floor that just didn’t get used very often. We wanted to renew our existing kitchen but other than replacing like for like we really didn’t know how to link the other living spaces together. ArtHouse Creative Interiors came along and looked at the overall living space and straight away suggested moving the kitchen to the dining/breakfast area, something we had never even thought of. Their visual and design skills transformed the workings of the kitchen and the overall foot print of the ground floor space. Now not only is the kitchen extremely functional & practical, the whole ground floor living area is far more user friendly for when the family visit and especially when we look after our young Grandchildren. We are delighted with the quality and finish of our new SieMatic handless, Hi-Gloss kitchen & love the clever Multi-Matic storage solutions we have built into our cabinets. The choice of a Corian work surface rather than a Quartz/Granite produced a free flowing seamless surface with no visible joints. We can’t believe how much larger the whole area seems and now we enjoy using all the living space entertaining our family and friends. ArtHouse really worked their magic and we would highly recommend anyone looking for a new kitchen to visit their beautiful showroom in Alderley Edge. Alison & Anthony 50

TIMELESS
ELEGANCE Our client’s new build property was designed throughout to express ‘timeless elegance’. When we came to discuss the design brief with the client they had already set their harts on having Gaggenau appliances as they had already experienced the benefits of the Brand so all we needed to do was taylor the product to suit their requirements. The colours, tones and textures within the kitchen were carefully chosen to harmonise perfectly with their soft furnishings. The design layout and chosen materials also had to be carefully planned to be extremely functional. Furniture: SieMatic S2 Matt Laquer/ Worktops: Neolith ceramic/ Breakfast Bar: Spekva wood/ Splash-back & Bar support: Grey Mirror. The client is delighted with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ArtHouse to their family & friends and said that a visit to the beautiful showroom in Alderley Edge is highly recommended .

Bespoke furniture designed and crafted in York hand&machine is a York-based workshop specialising in designing and making high-quality bespoke furniture. Set up by award-winning design-maker Ben Croft, hand&machine are a company addicted to detail; every piece that leaves the workshop has been lavished with time and attention from start to finish, and is as unique as the person it’s made for.
“At the core of hand&machine is the belief in making the very best furniture in an honest and committed fashion, every time,” says designermaker and owner, Ben Croft. “We never compromise on quality. Whether it’s a small, one-off item or a full interior, every piece is designed and crafted to the highest standard in our workshop on the outskirts of York.” “For me, designing and making bespoke furniture is about creating something that will surprise and excite our clients – pieces that surpass expectations and bring pleasure to the people who own them.” Ben learnt his craft at the prestigious Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, before working as a bespoke cabinet-maker for a company in London. During this time, he won numerous awards including the Gordon Russell Award for craftsmanship and the Kinnarps Award for furniture design. He moved back to his hometown of York to set up hand&machine in 2014.

Lefton’s Furniture Group has hit a major trading milestone as the company celebrates 70 years of showcasing a huge selection of affordable home furniture and collections from leading designer brands to customers across the Fylde Coast and beyond.
O
ver the last six decades Lefton’s have built up a reputation for quality, value & service offering one of the finest collections of home furniture and has become a must for the design conscious. Attracting customers from across the region and throughout the country Lefton’s has built up an enviable reputation and a huge level of support and respect, so it’s no surprise that words of support and congratulations poured in for their 70 year milestone. To mark this landmark anniversary, which few retailers manage to reach, Lefton’s is planning a series of events and promotions throughout 2016. The first of these events took place on Thursday 7th April and saw a celebration event take place where customers, colleagues, friends and suppliers from Blackpool and beyond were invited to join the team to enjoy canapes and a glass of champagne. As well as the chance to join Lefton’s in celebrating there were prizes for all guests. Guests were invited to choose a special balloon, which they then popped for a surprise gift. These included tickets to theatre shows, dining out and furniture from Lefton’s. Guests enjoyed themselves as they mingled around the store, wowed by some of the new designer collections on offer. Some got a sneak preview of the redesign of the lower level of the store which is being transformed into a new concept bedroom showroom. The store and redevelopment plans are a huge advancement from how things looked when Lefton’s first opened their doors back in 1946 by brothers Reuben and Cyril Lefton. The company was originally set up as a carpet retailer but after experiencing a considerable amount of success, the brothers expanded their range to include furniture and Lefton’s as it is known was created. Over the decades locations
have changed, ownership has been passed down the family, to the present day where the company is managed by Richard Lefton in it’s current location of General Street, Blackpool. On the event, Richard Lefton commented, ““It’s great that so many people have come along to the store to share in the celebrations and congratulate us on achieving this milestone. It’s not every day a business in Blackpool reaches 70 years, it’s something we’re all very proud of here at Lefton’s. It was especially great to welcome the new High Sheriff of Lancashire, John Barnett MBE DL to the store as well, he is an excellent representative for Blackpool and Lancashire and a keen supporter of independent business, a towering figure among Blackpool business leaders.” Always moving with the times, the Lefton’s online furniture showroom has proved a success throughout the country and continues to grow. Customers can rest assured there is a family run company behind the online shop committed to value, service and quality. Richard Lefton, Managing Director of Lefton’s is delighted to be celebrating this landmark year and said “there may have been many changes to the company over the years but through all of these we have remained a family business selling quality furniture, and providing quality service, to generations of customers. The team here at Lefton’s have been vital to the success we have enjoyed over the years, we appreciate everything they have done for the company and hope they enjoy celebrating this anniversary with us.” After 70 successful years of trading, Lefton’s are in as strong a position as they ever have been and are looking forward to a bright future. Throughout the history of the company, there have been many changes so who knows what the future holds for this successful family business. LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS

Built to last...
Since 1895, Wesley Barrell have been handcrafting beautiful bespoke upholstery in Oxfordshire. Our collection of upholstered sofas and armchairs demonstrate a commitment to the highest levels of craftsmanship, great British design and the best quality materials that truly respect the company’s rich heritage.
A
s bespoke furniture makers we do not hold stock of preassembled frames, instead each sofa is built from start to finish for each individual customer. Flexibility to specify the style, size, seat depth and tailoring options ensures that every sofa is unique and perfectly suited to the customer’s preferences and taste. Although the aesthetics of a sofa are undoubtedly important it is easy to be misled by appearance when looking around a furniture showroom, but price, and therefore quality is determined by construction. Below are a number of essential sofa components to consider before you invest in that all important centrepiece of your living space. Firstly, the frame. A well designed frame is the most important element of a good quality sofa or armchair. It not only dictates the shape and form but determines durability. Our skilled carpenters take pride in making our frames from sustainable seasoned soft and hard woods (FCS sourced) that combined, give strength and flexibility. We couldn’t be more confident in the materials that we use and therefore each of our sofas comes with a 25 year frame guarantee. 72

Springing – Traditional coil springs are fitted to the seat base to the give the comfortable feel of a fully coil sprung sofa. Coil springs ensure excellent support by distributing weight evenly thereby reducing wear and tear. Our springs come with a 10 year guarantee. Padding – Wesley Barrell use a mix of padding materials, natural layers of hair, wool felt and cotton to give long lasting resilience. Natural padding materials allow air to circulate for warmth in winter and keep you cooler in the summer. Foam is also used to give firmer seat cushions and provide additional padding where larger arms or a back profile are a feature. Upholstery – It’s a painstaking process fixing and tying the springs, building up the layers of padding and upholstering the covering fabrics. However the attention to detail, artisan techniques and hand-finishing give Wesley Barrell’s timeless, classic sofa and armchair designs the highly tailored look for which we are renowned for. Customers may view the Wesley Barrell upholstery collection in 12 showrooms nationwide. Visit www.wesley-barrell.co.uk or call 01993 776682 for details.
For over 120 years, traditional carpentry skills have been employed to handcraft beautiful upholstery that stands the test of time.
A choice of tailored options such as buttoning and piping allow you to achieve a personalised and individual look.
Choose from our infinite range of fabrics from leading fabric suppliers and our own in-house collections.

Her close knit, multi award winning team has a passion for creative design with professional service and offers a wealth of experience in kitchen ergonomics and design.
CASE STUDY Diane Berry Kitchens are well known across our county but they’re particularly well respected in the suburb of Bradshaw, outside Bolton. When residents Rachel and Tom Morris visited their neighbour’s home and saw their striking, contemporary kitchen by Diane they were instantly impressed and keen to introduce the same quality into their own home. The couple had bought a plot of land in Bradshaw and transformed a former cow shed into a stunning family home. They were very much involved in each step of the 18 month renovation, especially since Tom’s background is in the building trade. The couple’s two young sons were equally excited about the developments and looking forward to finally moving in to their rural home. They consulted architects on the layout and flow, coveting open-plan, family living. Fortunately they sought Diane’s design expertise just at the right time. Diane was able to re work some of the original plans, making the most of the generous space the couple’s home afforded them. Tom and Rachel were so thankful for Diane’s input, not just for their kitchen but in fact for much of the downstairs layout. ‘Diane is so talented and has such a good eye’ Rachel explained. The couple are delighted that their home works as well as it does for busy, family life. The home provided a real blank canvas for Diane and her talented team; they were on hand to help with the bigger decisions as well as the finer detail too. Rachel admits Diane thought of new ideas not just for the kitchen but for detail such as suggesting where windows could go in order to make the most of their home’s location and countryside views. The social space works brilliantly for the family and not forgetting their four legged friend Lottie; everyone is together. Rachel sums up their feelings on their finished kitchen ‘Diane is amazing!’

Furniture by Henry Lewis
Signature Carpets has provided luxurious handcrafted and custom designed wool carpets for over 30 years. Signature’s designers are renowned for their expert use of style and colour. We offer clients any design style from the traditional to the contemporary. After an initial consultation with the customer and, in many cases with the client’s Interior Designer, Signature’s designers hand paint artwork showing the room to scale and how the carpet will look in its full glory. Once every detail is agreed; a custom made sample is approved for colour and the carpet design is considered perfect, Signature proceeds with manufacture. Signature’s carpets are made to any size and without any unsightly seams, created to fit any shape, from an awkward alcove to every curve of a sweeping, spiral staircase. Hand made elements of the carpets are made upright on vertical frames by Signature’s talented crafts people. The construction is 100% New Zealand wool custom dyed to the precise shades needed to make the design excel in itself and sit perfectly as a complement to the interior.
Wool has always been a natural first choice for carpets and the outstanding properties of New Zealand wool which is the purest, whitest wool in the world, enables it to be dyed to long-lasting, vibrant hues and clean, fresh pastels. It is soft, strong and durable, with a natural resistance to fire, dirt and crushing, so carpets made from it will be practical, safe and comfortable, with good looks that will last. The finished Signature product is created in dense velvet pile, sometimes with hand carved sculptured details and loop pile used to introduce variation in texture. For final peace of mind and to safe guard customers’ investment, Signature is involved from the beginning to end. The highest quality of installation is paramount and is carried out by Signature’s own specialist fitters. Nothing is left to chance. For more information or to arrange a visit by one of Signature’s designers please call 01422 845075.

THE NEW PORSCHE 718 BOXSTER: In the twenty years since its debut, the Porsche Boxster has established itself as the benchmark roadster. Recently, a new generation of the mid-engined two-seater was unveiled, powered by a newly-developed range of flat four cylinder ‘boxer’ engines with turbocharging. At the same time, the new designation was introduced; 718 Boxster and 718 Boxster S. These new models continue the tradition of the Porsche 718 mid-engined sports cars that won numerous races in the 1950s and 1960s. More powerful yet more fuel efficient, the 718 Boxster develops 300 hp from its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine. The 718 Boxster S has a 2.5-litre engine, which develops 350 hp, its greater power literally boosted by its use of a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. In fact, Porsche is now the only manufacturer to offer this technology in production cars with petrol engines, both in the 911 Turbo and 718 Boxster S. The considerable power gain of 35 hp compared to the previous Boxster models is matched by the impressive efficiency of the new turbo engines. The new 718 Boxster models have fuel economy improvements of up to 13 per cent. The exterior design of the new model line has also advanced comprehensively. The vehicle has been completely revised, except for the luggage compartment lids, the windscreen and the powered convertible roof. Inside, a newly-designed dash panel frames the cockpit. In addition, the latest generation of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with state-ofthe-art touchscreen and mobile phone preparation included as standard. The navigation module is available as an option. The 718 Boxster is priced from £41,739.00 RRP incl. VAT and the 718 Boxster S from £50,695.00 RRP incl. VAT.

Where individuals matter... The Junior School at Cransley prides itself on its child centred approach in a beautiful rural environment where all pupils feel safe and valued. Pastoral care is of the utmost importance to us, whilst our pupils are challenged academically and taught to be independent thinkers and to develop their own personal work ethic. Our small class sizes allow for a personal approach by experienced professionals, ensuring a high rate of progress for all abilities, with guided academic rigour, self-challenge and the creative thrills of research, collaboration and play. We provide an enhanced national curriculum, utilising the resources, facilities and expertise of our Senior School, allowing us to provide learning opportunities beyond that of primary schools - in music, science, creative arts, computing, PE and drama. It is essential that our children find enjoyment and engagement in our education – whether it is recreating a Viking invasion, mummifying chickens, performing Shakespeare, dissecting organs, creating our own ‘Living History Museum’ or even holding the world record for the largest ‘Oops Up Side Your Head’ dance. We nurture in our children the qualities of courage, courtesy, consideration and compassion. In readiness for modern life, we must encourage in our children an individual spirituality and moral grounding, and at Cransley we do
116
LUXURY HOMES & INTERIORS
this through the promotion of personal, social, health and economic wellbeing, a sensitive and reflective religious studies curriculum, themed assemblies and even early philosophy and debate. Our children must also develop social and cultural understanding, and this is done through extensive charity-work, competitive sport, musical performance, ecology projects and visits to theatres, museums, places of worship and outdoor pursuits centres, and much more. When it is time to leave our educational care, we ensure a seamless transition - academic, pastoral and physical - into our Senior School, thereby ensuring continuous progress and wellbeing at an exciting time of their lives. Cransley truly is a school where individuals matter. Come arrange a personal visit with me, and see what we have to offer your child. Richard Pollock Deputy Headteacher, Head of the Junior School
