Cranford House School

Welcome to Senior School

Our thriving, fully co-educational Senior School enjoys an atmosphere of academic endeavour, underpinned by a strong sense of fun and happiness amongst our pupils. As a small Senior School, we are able to provide 1:1 attention and support to ensure every pupil achieves their fullest potential, within an environment that encourages students to develop their curiosity, resilience and a strong sense of their value as individuals.

Cranford pupils are happy, confident and motivated, giving them the perfect foundation to aspire to achieve across all areas of our broad curriculum. The small class sizes within each year group, our close community and the committed teaching staff ensure each pupil is encouraged to find their hidden talents, to understand their strengths and areas for development and to celebrate their successes.

Drawing on the strong traditional values and family feel, our aim is to ensure every pupil is happy at school, whilst being supported to develop the resilience, curiosity, inter-personal skills and lifelong love of learning that will help them thrive as they move beyond school into University and the world of work. 

 

My child's happiness is a reflection on how the school has exceeded my expectations. I really value the individual care given to my child - the school has really taken the time to get to know them and understand what inspires, worries or excites them..

CRANFORD SENIOR PARENT

Pupils make rapid progress in developing knowledge, skills and understanding. This is as a result of the school’s supportive and collaborative learning environment and their own determination. 

ISI INSPECTION

 

Academically, these successes consistently place Cranford School amongst the top schools in the region for GCSE and A-level. Students leaving us at 18 consistently go on to leading universities across the UK, with 100% of pupils in the last year achieving places at their first-choice university.

Our academic performance is matched by a superb co-curricular programme, a strong reputation for music, both locally and nationally, a flourishing visual and performing arts programme and a sporting reputation for skill, fair play and inclusion at every level.
