Our guest speaker was very impressed with the level of engagement and the depth of questions that were Music posed.has always been an integral part of life here at Cranmore and it is greatly encouraging to see so many of our children involved with our choirs and various instrumental groups. We are already looking forward to seeing them perform over the weeks and months.
