What The Good Schools Guide says..
Sport is the big draw for many parents. A former England rugby player heads up the department. ‘I waited five years for him,’ said the head. The environment is ‘very competitive,' according to a parent, but supported with a robust wellbeing and mental health provision. Classrooms feel industrious. Huge and bright with all mod-cons. Walls exhibit displays of pupils’ work and corridors brandish celebratory quotes from parents. A stimulating curriculum includes…
What the school says...
Cranmore has an impressive academic record underpinned by strong pastoral care. Each individual matters and we want the very best for all our pupils so that they develop a love for learning and make strong friendships. Pupils are encouraged to follow their own interests and develop to the best of their abilities. Academic life is strong with pupils going on to the region's leading senior schools and many scholarships awarded each year. Whilst academic excellence is vitally important, we also enjoy an outstanding reputation for our Sport, Music and exceptional extra-curricular programme.
In May 2019 the Governors announced the partnership of Cranmore with our neighbouring school, St Teresa’s, to create a diamond model; the most contemporary education model available, offering the best of single sex and co-ed education to girls and boys.
The new charitable trust is called the Effingham Schools Trust.
Cranmore has an enviable academic reputation and will offer senior education for boys to 16 for the first time. The boys will also have the opportunity to join the St. Teresa’s girls to study for their A levels in a joint co-ed Sixth Form (from 2025).
The diamond model will mean that children from Nursery to Year 4 are educated in a co-ed environment at Cranmore, then from Year 5 to Year 11 boys and girls will be educated on two separate sites in a single sex environment.
The diamond model school will be the result of evolution, not revolution and the changes will come into fruition gradually
Cranmore's current inspection report confirms the school's status as one of the region's leading prep schools. The report awards Cranmore an impressive set of 'Excellents' across the board. ...Read more

Headmaster
Since September 2020, Barry Everitt, who joined the school in 2010 having previously been deputy head. Studied business in Ireland before gaining a BSc at Brunel University and a MEd at Buckingham University. Dedicated to life-long learning, ‘a drive to be better and thirst for knowledge’. Enjoyed a successful career in professional rugby, playing at fly-half for teams including London Irish as well as his country. Still holds the record for the most individual points scored in a premiership season. Education, then, is his ‘third career’ but where he is ‘by far, happiest’.
This softly spoken Irishman is clearly excited about ‘forging the future’ of Cranmore. Proudly reels off the school’s facilities, opportunities and achievements (which takes some time) before revealing he’s most fulfilled simply seeing pupils with smiling faces. ‘He’s...
