The Community Boys and girls, whether they enter the school at 7+ or 11+, very quickly feel at home in their new surroundings.

The school prides itself on the warm and welcoming atmosphere that is present from a child’s first day. There is a remarkable sense of community, and of pupils and staff working together. Many examples of the collegiate spirit are in evidence throughout each and every day, none more so than the unifying focus of morning Chapel taken by the Prep School Chaplain. The light, modern Chapel of St George provides the perfect setting for pupil worship and assembly. Whilst the school has an Anglican foundation, we welcome children of every denomination.

Children are encouraged to establish, strengthen and value friendships and to support and encourage each other in their endeavours. A well-established house system introduces the fun of lively competition and develops a bond between pupils across the age range. Participation and achievement are recognised and celebrated.

With maximum pupil numbers in the school of just over 300, a close bond is fostered between pupils and teachers. The staff take time to get to know the children and their families and, through the form tutoring system, play an important role in each child’s academic and social development. Form Tutors monitor and report on progress, advise on study skills and are a constant source of encouragement, praise and advice. Tutors also adopt clear guidelines with regard to discipline and as a result the school operates on a platform of good behaviour and friendly and open relationships. The lively atmosphere and the very strong sense of belonging are key factors in promoting the active participation of each pupil in all affairs of the school.

The Lower, Middle & Upper Schools The structure of the school is designed to provide the very best combination of educational experiences for each child as they progress through their time with us. Care has been taken to plan the correct blend of age-appropriate, academic and social stimuli, ensuring that pupils meet new challenges with growing confidence.

As children grow and mature, so too does their desire for fresh academic and creative opportunities. This understanding led to the establishment of the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools.

All three sections of the school seek to meet the defined needs of the pupils given their age, maturity, intellectual understanding and curiosity, along with their physical ability and energy levels. Consequently each section has its respective Head of School and there are slight, but nevertheless noticeable, variations in areas such as timetable and subject allocation. Academic coordinators support the Heads of School and there are weekly Lower, Middle and Upper School meetings to discuss the pupils and related matters.

As a result, our pupils are industrious, academically able, socially adept and happy individuals.

The Lower School

The Middle School

The Lower School is comprised of children in Forms 1 and 2 (National Curriculum years 3 and 4). The majority of the pupils join at 7+, having successfully taken the entrance examination earlier in the year. There are two or three parallel forms of between 16-18 pupils in each of the respective years.

In the Middle School, Forms 3 and 4 (National Curriculum years 5 and 6), the pupils make the transition from class based teaching to the subject specialist style of teaching they will encounter in the Upper School. They are expected to move from their classroom base more often and to take greater responsibility for themselves and their belongings.

In these early years, the emphasis is very much on nurturing each pupil and helping him or her to gain confidence; hence the majority of the time is spent in the company of the Form Tutors. Form Tutors in the Lower School are fully qualified and experienced Members of Common Room who specialise in teaching children of this specific age. They are important role models for the children, as well as being the parents’ first point of contact with the school. The Form Tutors are ably supported by Teaching Assistants, thereby ensuring a healthy adult to child ratio in these very important years.

In Form 3 (National Curriculum year 5), we are able to divide the children into mixed ability classes or to set for Maths and English, depending on the profile of the group. All other subjects are taught in mixed ability form groups. Science and French are taught by specialists, with Science lessons taking place in our fully equipped Science laboratories. History, Geography and Religious Studies are taught through our own ‘Humanities’ course, which aims to develop curiosity, creativity and independence of thought, much like the Lower School curriculum.

In addition to their core curriculum subjects, delivered through an investigative and child-centred approach to teaching and learning, children in the Lower School enjoy competitive sport, instrumental and choral music, dance, Art and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

The emphasis in these years is very much on participation and having fun. The teachers take a strongly interactive approach to learning, the pupils are enthused and their days are packed with the acquisition of new skills and knowledge.

There is no Saturday school for pupils in Form 1. Pupils in Form 2 are gradually introduced to Saturday school by participating in theme days on occasional Saturdays during the year.

4

In Form 4 (National Curriculum year 6), the pupils are streamed for English and taught as a tutor group for all other subjects apart from Maths, French and Latin for which the children are set according to ability. All the subjects are taught by subject specialists.

In Form 4 the pupils begin the Common Entrance French syllabus and are introduced to Latin for the first time.

Pupils moving to their Senior Schools at 11+ are fully prepared for the appropriate exams and the pupils are given an early glimpse of what is expected of them in the Upper School.

When the pupils join the Middle School they are expected in school on alternate Saturdays.

The Upper School

Academic Life

The ethos of the Upper School still depends on active participation and involvement, but an increased emphasis is placed on the pupils to accept additional responsibility, both collectively and personally. The children are encouraged to become more independent in their studies and in the activities they choose to pursue.

A culture of thoughtful learning underpins every aspect of the rich academic life at Cranleigh. Our curriculum, and the way it is presented, seeks to promote a genuine excitement for the learning process and a passion within each pupil for academic success.

In the Upper School (Forms 5 and 6 - National Curriculum years 7 and 8) there are four (or sometimes five) tutor groups in each of the year groups, the majority of pupils having moved seamlessly from the Middle School to Form 5 (National Curriculum year 7). Up to 25 additional pupils join the school at this stage, having taken the entrance examination in January. The Form Tutor groups are mixed ability but the pupils are set for each subject and taught by specialist staff. There are no more than 16 pupils in each Tutor Group.

In each of the two Upper School years, there is a scholars’ set(s) for boys and girls who may be entered for academic scholarships at their prospective senior schools. Pupils are also entered for Art, Music, Drama, Sport and All-rounder awards. We hold an impressive record of results.

The extended day provides Upper School pupils with the time to prepare thoroughly for Common Entrance or Scholarship exams. Most importantly, the time also ensures that children maintain a breadth and balance to their education. Every pupil has the opportunity to play sport and music, participate in dance or drama productions, develop his or her artistic skills and still find time to swim, fence, debate, or design clothes.

The options are many!

Children are encouraged to work hard, play hard and have fun at Cranleigh.

The curriculum is broad and balanced. It encourages and entices children to explore their intellectual, technical, creative and physical selves. Our pupils study English, Mathematics, Science, French, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Art, Music, Technology, Food Technology, I.C.T., and Drama. Most of the pupils also learn Latin from Form 4 (National Curriculum year 6) onwards and younger pupils also enjoy P.E. and dance.

Weekly meetings of the staff in each section of the school allow Form Tutors to track the academic performance, as well as social development of the pupils in their charge.

In addition, boarders will meet with their boarding tutors to discuss their progress and other issues with which they may need help or advice.

Diagnostic testing and academic support is on hand through our Learning Support Department, comprised of fully qualified staff, able to help with mild specific learning difficulties. All pupils are taught Study Skills and those who have been identified as gifted or talented are given the appropriate support to help them fulfil their potential.

The Academic Management team meet on a weekly basis to coordinate the curriculum and monitor the academic health of the school.

Reporting on progress takes the form of two parent appointments and two written reports per year. ‘Cards’, which are brief overviews of achievement and effort, are written two or three times per term.

Pupils and staff work in an environment that has been transformed over recent years. The school boasts working and recreational spaces imaginatively designed to inspire and uplift. Specialist facilities include an excellent library, Science laboratories, music practice and orchestral rehearsal rooms, computer laboratories, a suite of Design and Technology rooms, a Home Economics room, a dance/drama studio, a lecture room and well equipped classrooms.

The library is situated in the heart of the school and houses a wealth of current resources including books, audio books on CD, DVDs, newspapers and periodicals relevant to the social, cultural, emotional and educational needs of the pupils. The library is run by a full-time librarian and is open every day during school hours. All pupils attend weekly library lessons.

The combination of a challenging curriculum, inspired teaching, sensitive and accurate monitoring and reporting of progress and an excellent physical environment ensures a vibrant learning community.

Happy and engaged, the boys and girls achieve outstanding results and enjoy recognition for their academic efforts and achievements.

The Day and Boarding Community

Cranleigh Music

There are approximately 220 day pupils, (mostly Lower and Middle School pupils) and up to 85 weekly or parttime boarders (mostly Upper School pupils) in the school at any one time. With the easy integration between day and boarding pupils, a positive and strong collegiate atmosphere exists throughout the school.

The school has a lively and innovative approach to music education through Cranleigh Music 7-18, which links Cranleigh Prep School and Cranleigh School within a single strategic, administrative and performance structure. This gives unparalleled opportunities to collaborate musically and to arrange activities according to the needs of the individual children within it, using the wonderful resource of top class professionals working at all levels. Cranleigh Music has eleven permanent members of its management team, operating at both the Senior and Prep Schools across the entire 7-18 range, in addition to over fifty visiting instrumental and vocal specialists who deliver individual lessons and run ensembles. All children have the opportunity to learn at least one instrument at school and many choose to take external exams through ABRSM and Trinity Guildhall.

The school bursts into life at around 7.00 a.m., when boarders are woken for showers and breakfast. Once fuelled with a varying assortment of breakfast delights (a full English breakfast being the current favourite), the boarders join the children arriving from home for registration with their Form Tutor at 8.05 a.m. From that moment on, the pace does not ease; academic lessons, games, lunch, morning and afternoon breaks, music practice, rehearsals, supervised prep, and optional activities all have their place within the daily timetable.

Form 1 pupils (National Curriculum year 3) finish lessons at 4.30 p.m. Then they have the option to go home or stay an extra half hour for clubs, music and other activities. Pupils in Forms 2 and 3 finish at 4.55 p.m., Form 4 pupils follow five minutes later at 5.00 p.m. and pupils in the Upper School finish at 5.15 p.m. Younger pupils are looked after if they are waiting for older siblings. Those boarding take a break before embarking on their evening programme of prep, supper, activities and relaxation time.

The boarders’ weekly activities are many and the choice varies with the seasons. There is always something to catch everyone’s imagination, presenting exciting opportunities to try something new and completely different.

Highlights include: indoor cricket nets, dance, squash, health and beauty, dodge ball, basketball, golf, table tennis, climbing, archery, art and design, jewellery making, talent shows, cooking and even bingo! In addition to the options on offer, there are also regular recreational swimming slots, a mid-week film, extra prep sessions and optional drop in subject clinics, which have a high take up as the exams approach. Summer evenings tend to be less structured with the pupils preferring to play tennis, snooker or table tennis or simply ‘chill out’ on Top Pitch with their friends.

Barbeques, picnics, waterslides and surprise visits from the ice cream van are particular summer favourites.

Each evening concludes with a snack and then showers and bedtime; with lights out, after quiet reading from 8.30 to 9.00 p.m. depending on the age group. The school then settles for the night and everyone recharges their batteries.

Saturday school is on alternate weekends. On ‘exeat’ weekends, boarders return home after school on Friday and on ‘in school’ Saturdays, they are free to go home after sport or matches on Saturday afternoon.

Academic music is a curriculum subject taught at all age groups and involves performing, composing, listening and discussion, using a wide variety of musical styles and incorporating music theory.

In addition to lessons, there is a vibrant programme of concerts, services, workshops and competitions to encourage performing and give opportunities to hear other musicians at work. There is also an external Concert Series of professional concerts open to children and parents. A considerable ensemble programme enables children to play together according to their own level of experience.

This includes a range of orchestras and bands, with the addition of an extensive chamber music programme.

Singing is highly valued at Cranleigh Prep and winning a place in the excellent Chapel Choir is highly prized and respected at school. Rehearsals for these groups take place each week during term time. Group music-making really helps players to develop their skills of ensemble playing, which in turn encourages greater personal progress and unlocks the joy of making music.

A range of Music Awards are offered to talented musicians following a successful individual audition. Pupils can enter the school at any age, subject to a place being available, but there are significant musical entry points at 11+ and 13+, when children naturally finish at one school and consider their onward journey. Keen and capable musicians are warmly welcomed at all stages. Please contact music@cranleigh.org if you would like to make a preliminary visit or discuss the possibilities available for a potential music scholarship candidate.

Dance

Drama

Dance is offered as part of the curriculum for boys and girls in Forms 1-3, helping them to develop spatial awareness, coordination, fluidity of movement, musicality and imagination.

A regular part of the curriculum, Drama helps children develop self-expression, confidence and imagination.

Drama lessons encourage pupils to extend their range of expression in communication, acquire dramatic skills and to understand a wide variety of texts. The school has many lively drama groups and theatre visits are a highlight of the calendar.

The children participate in workshops on specific dance styles and optional classes in ‘Cecchetti’ Ballet, Tap, Modern and Street Jazz run after school. The boys’ classes address strong physical challenges, whilst focusing on developing precision of movement. The girls’ classes focus on developing grace, poise and elegance.

Masterclasses are offered by professional dancers to enable the children to gain an understanding of dance in a wider context.

The pupils are prepared for exams following the ‘Cecchetti’ Ballet syllabus and take ISTD examinations.

From the earliest years, there are opportunities to participate in small studio productions, in dramatic presentations as part of Chapel services, or in fully staged plays. Older pupils tackle challenging dramatic projects with vigour, stretching their boundaries of imagination and physical expression.

Commitment and professionalism are demanded for auditions and for the team work involved in preparing for productions.

If not drawn by the spotlight, then pupils are encouraged to be involved in different aspects of stage management, choosing to take an active interest in set, costume and prop making, poster design or as lighting and sound operators.

There are opportunities for pupils to take extracurricular LAMDA lessons. Peripatetic teachers prepare pupils for LAMDA examinations, regularly achieving high results and enthusing the children with a true appreciation of poetry and acting.

Art

Sport

The essence of our Art Department’s stimulating approach is reflected in its colourful creativity. The open, spacious art studio – itself a wonderful ever-evolving work in progress – has designated areas for drawing and painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics and fashion textiles. An extensive multicultural Art library is used for the study of Art History and to inspire new, original work. Every child is encouraged to discover his or her creative potential through specifically designed projects. Taking a thematic approach, pupils explore different media and develop ideas and their ability to a very high standard, with many pupils each year winning scholarships to senior schools.

Set in the idyllic Surrey countryside, the school boasts enviable sporting facilities amid stunning surroundings. Our extensive grounds feature a full size artificial hockey pitch (used for tennis in the summer), 4 cricket squares, 3 tennis courts, 2 netball courts, 9 rugby/ football pitches, a state-of-the-art 5 a-side football pitch and rounders pitches. In addition to our own first rate provision for sports, we have exclusive daily use of Cranleigh School’s outstanding facilities including 3 artificial hockey pitches, a 25 metre indoor swimming pool, a sports hall complex, a challenging 9 hole golf course, an indoor cricket school, squash and Eton fives courts, an outward bound centre with an indoor climbing wall and stables with a riding school. Coupled with enthusiastic and experienced teaching staff, the children are provided with every opportunity to fulfil their potential in the sporting arena.

From a foundation of traditional skills, children at the school create outstanding contemporary imagery with confidence.

Vibrant Artwork fills the school; every space is hung with frequently changing exhibitions of our pupils’ bold and energetic work.

Our sport is run under the umbrella of Cranleigh Sport 7-18. The coaching of the major sports at both Cranleigh Prep School and Cranleigh School is controlled by highly qualified specialist coaches who design the sports’ programmes, train and support members of the Common Room and look after our elite athletes. Talented youngsters at the Prep School have the opportunity to train with their Cranleigh School counterparts along with other talented boys and girls from the local area. The Cranleigh Sport 7-18 initiative, introduced in 2010-11, will undoubtedly enhance Cranleigh’s already well known reputation for sporting excellence.

Every pupil has a daily session of games, with fixtures played on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, against a network of local and regional schools. Up to twentyfive teams, from all age groups, and including A, B, C, D and even E and F teams if required, may play on any one afternoon, allowing maximum opportunity for pupils to represent the school. Although the majority of matches are local, on occasion we travel further in order to meet appropriate opposition. Our top teams enter county, regional and national competitions in the major sports and we host many tournaments ranging from the ‘Festival’ style events, for the younger age groups, to county and even regional finals for the older teams.

The major games for boys are rugby, football, hockey and cricket, while the girls’ main sports are hockey, netball, and rounders, along with an introduction to lacrosse and cricket. In addition, swimming, athletics and tennis are offered to all children. Squad training for swimming (and athletics in the summer term) is held after school on a regular basis As well as our mainstream games, we take pride in offering a comprehensive range of sports activities to cater for all interests including archery, climbing, Eton Fives, golf, gymnastics, horse riding, judo, orienteering, and squash.

Out of the Classroom

Philosophy

The interrelation of knowledge and skills is often overlooked when children operate with the necessary, but sometimes restrictive, nature of the subject timetable – hence our encouragement of learning and experiencing outside the formal classroom setting.

Our aim is to provide children from 7 to 13 years with a challenging and stimulating academic programme, leading to Common Entrance or Scholarship examinations at 13+.

A variety of curriculum related school trips are arranged throughout the academic year. Each form spends at least one day away from school at a specially selected place of interest, with the simple objective of bringing their classroom work to life.

We strongly support the theory that ‘I do: (therefore) I understand’ and so, whether the pupils toy with tarantulas, stand on the stage at the Globe Theatre or weave a fire breathing dragon, their senses have been stimulated and real life connections made. Follow up work in the classroom is undoubtedly focused and purposeful!

We focus on enabling each child to fulfil their intellectual potential, whilst encouraging them to find real enjoyment, and to seek success from their participation, at whatever level, in the many artistic, cultural and sporting opportunities which the school promotes.

We want our pupils to be inspired by learning and buoyed by success. We believe they are.

Michael Wilson Headmaster

In addition, pupils and their families are invited to join any of the annual school trips, the most popular being the ski trip before the start of the Lent Term and the ‘Adventure’ Club expedition to South Africa at the conclusion of the Michaelmas Term.
