About Cranmore
Cranmore presents a thoroughly up-to-date and superbly equipped independent school on a magnificent 25 acre campus in the heart of Surrey. Having taught pupils to the age of 13 for 50 years, in September 2019, Cranmore joined the Effingham Schools Trust resulting in the widening of the provision to offer education for pupils age 2 to 18.
The Trust’s diamond model will offer the benefits of the co-ed classroom to very young pupils, the benefits of the single sex classroom in later prep and secondary years, before finally returning to co-education at 6th Form. This method reflects and acknowledges that girls and boys approach their learning in different ways as they develop.
Cranmore has a wonderful 25 acre site and is blessed with fantastic facilities including a brand new Science and Technology Centre, dedicated music and sports buildings, swimming pool, ICT suites and a Forest School. Combined with its sister school, St. Teresa’s, the Trust has 1,000 pupils and £20m+ assets. There are exciting plans for new capital development as the Trust grows to 1,200 pupils over the next few years.
Cranmore is proud of its reputation as a leading independent school with all round excellence across a broad curriculum enriched with co-curricular activities. We are excited to be expanding our education and invite you to learn more on our website: www.cranmore.org
