The Cranmore Chronicle Dear Parents

I am sure those of you who joined us for Any Questions? last Friday would

agree that it certainly lived up to expectations. We had a lively forum with a full

house. Afterwards, we entertained Jonathan Dimbleby and the four members

of the panel in a convivial atmosphere which contrasts sharply with the

passionate debating we enjoyed earlier. I am grateful to the members of the

school community, including the maintenance and catering departments, for

supporting this special event.

I am delighted to advise you that our pupils have truly demonstrated their

tremendous talents in scholarship exams to senior schools. This has been an

exceptional year with 28 Scholarships achieved – academic, music, sport, art

and all-rounder – as well as several Common Entrance exemptions. Not only

does this reflect the excellence of our pupils, it is an endorsement of the high

quality of teaching underpinned by strong parental support. A full list is

included in this edition.

Congratulations to the Junior Department on another wonderful production this

week. The costumes, singing and acting were all fantastic.

The Senior Department are looking forward to this afternoon when they shall

enjoy the school fair organised by our School Council.

I wish you and your family a most enjoyable half-term break, especially the 6th

Form who will be doing Common Entrance when they return.

Michael Connolly

The Cranmore Chronicle

Last Friday evening, Cranmore School hosted the BBC Radio 4 show Any Questions? Staff, parents and members of the local community enjoyed a lively political debate. There was a buzz of excitement during the course of the day as the BBC crew arrived and prepared for the broadcast.

The Cranmore Chronicle Bright Stars News

This week, Pre-nursery read the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. They had great fun planting their own beans.

The Nursery children made a

fantastic volcano and made it

erupt in the garden. It was so

exciting!

The Cranmore Chronicle Junior Production - ‘There’s a Sunflower in My Supper’

By Lower, Middle and Upper Prep

Many congratulations to all the staff and children who worked so hard to make the performances this week such a success. What an amazing show! Vibrant with colour and full of the wonderful energy and enthusiasm of very young children. Thank you for all your support and very kind comments.

Music Theory Help

We have a record number of children taking a Theory of Music exam at

Cranmore on June 17. I know that these pupils are already working hard to

complete the practice papers they have been given and most are doing this

without additional support. However, if any child taking the exam does need

assistance with any of the theory topics, they should come to my room on

any Friday before the exam, at 1.30pm.

Mr Harris

Director of Music


Well done to the eight junior guitar pupils who played brilliantly at the recent concert. Thank you to our excellent guitar teacher, Mr Smith, for organising this event.

A win for the J13 quadruple scull crew at Walton and Weybridge Regatta

Cranmore J13 quadruple scull won an exciting final last Saturday at Walton and Weybridge Regatta against rival Danes Hill School.

After all the rain last week, the river was running faster than normal and, with a brisk following wind, conditions were not easy. The crew of J Brookes, W Cattermoul, J Harrison and B Behn, coxed by J Wilson, skilfully got attached to the stake boats anchored in the river. After a flying start, the crew settled into their race rhythm and gradually pulled away from Danes Hill to win by two lengths.

As it was our home regatta, our J10 and J11s manned the stake boats and helped run the regatta. They did an excellent job and learnt how a regatta runs. We must thank all the parents who helped us get the crew ready and on the water, as well as serving on the refreshment stalls.
