Lower Prep Drama Workshop Year 5 Residential Trip
Year 5 thoroughly enjoyed their residential trip to PGL Windmill Hill From the moment they arrived, the boys threw themselves into every activity with enthusiasm and supported one another brilliantly. Many of the height based challenges proved particularly popular, with the giant swing emerging as a firm favourite. Several pupils even challenged themselves to go higher on their second attempt
The only time the boys paused was to eat or sleep! I could not be prouder of how they represented Cranmore throughout the trip.
A huge thank‑you to Dr Verny White, Mr Sparling and Mr Barson for accompanying the boys and taking such excellent care of them

Lower Prep Drama Workshop Year 2 Trip to Roald Dahl Museum
Year 2 had a fantastic time visiting the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre. They discovered where Roald Dahl found much of his inspiration and learned about the process he used to create his memorable characters. The children then put their new knowledge into practice by inventing their own characters using Roald Dahl’s top tips!

Sports News
The final hockey fixtures of the season took place this week, bringing an energetic and enjoyable close to the term A particular highlight was a fantastic Trust afternoon of hockey for our U11s, who joined forces with pupils from St Teresa’s to play a series of friendly yet highly competitive matches. The atmosphere was brilliant throughout, with players from both schools showing great teamwork, skill and sportsmanship. Last week, our U8s produced some excellent performances in their fixtures against Danes Hill, running up an impressive aggregate score of 18 - 4 across the four matches Their determination and enthusiasm were clear to see On Saturday, the U10s also took on Danes Hill and showed strong progress in their play, while the U9s enjoyed a competitive set of matches against Weston Green on Thursday
Away from the hockey pitch, our U11 rugby team had a superb day at the National Rosslyn Park 7s on Thursday The tournament provided a wonderful challenge and an exciting opportunity to test themselves against schools from across the country
With the Easter break now upon us, we look ahead to the summer term and the arrival of cricket, athletics and tennis. Year 6 even have golf to look forward to in their PE lessons, something the pupils are already very excited about.

Chaplaincy News
A reading from the Gospel of John
Jesus, seeing Mary weeping, and the Jews who were come with her weeping, groaned in spirit and troubled himself and he wept
Jesus therefore came to the tomb And he cried with a loud voice: “Lazarus, come forth!”
Reflection
As we come to the end of a busy term and continue our journey towards Easter, may our hearts be lifted up For Christ is not distant from us He enters our world and, through His power, transforms us
This is the central Christian hope: that Christ is incarnate and present in the here and now, even in our places of grief and hurt
Have a wonderful Easter, whatever you are up to, and let us all pray for peace
You stood with Martha, Mary, and Lazarus in their moment of sadness
Stand with us today in the places where we feel worried, tired, or weighed down
Help us to support one another, to bring comfort where there is sadness, and to be signs of your love in our school community
Amen
