What The Good Schools Guide says..
Very much a local (home counties and London) boarding school – nearly all parents live within a two hour drive and matches, plays and concerts are very well supported as a consequence. ‘I love the fact that my children get a great education and also have local friends’, a mother told us. ‘Houses are everything’ at Cranleigh, both academically and pastorally. ‘Returning to your house should be like coming through a family door,’ we were told. Each is almost like a mini-school but they…
What the school says...
Cranleigh is a leading co-educational weekly boarding and day school set in a stunning rural location in more than 280 acres on the edge of the Surrey Hills.
Cranleigh’s beautiful campus is exceptionally well equipped, with outstanding classroom, studio, performance and sports facilities, including three theatres, twelve rehearsal and performance spaces, competition pitches, equestrian centre, sports centre, gym, golf course, outdoor education centre and swimming pool.
There are strong links between the School and nearby Cranleigh Preparatory School and pupils also join from a wide variety of other prep schools across London and the home counties, creating a lively, House-based community of young people who are drawn together by their inherent love of life and getting involved in everything Cranleigh has to offer. ...Read more

Headmaster
Since 2014, Mr Martin Reader (40s). Brought up in Orpington and attended St Olave’s Grammar School, which he describes as ‘an academic school that also offered breadth of sport, art and music.’ Thence to University College, Oxford where he read English, played lots of rugby and stayed on for an MPhil (his dissertation was on an ‘anonymous early Scottish poem’). Also has an MBA in school leadership. Harboured early ambition to be a television presenter and has the look – think twinkly but unimpeachable silver fox.
