Cranbrook School is proud of its
mission to produce happy, fulfilled
and confident young people.
Year 7 Sixth Form Development
Cranbrook School are welcoming their first intake of 11 year
olds this September. This is a really exciting development for
the school and its wider community. They are also delighted
to announce for September 2018 they have increased the
intake to 60 students. The school has just opened its new Sixth Form Centre. This fantastic
facility comes off the back of a very successful fundraising campaign
which really brought the school together. Recent years have seen
students gaining offers to Oxbridge colleges and many medicine/
veterinary successes, which is a most notable achievement.
Sport CCF/DofE
Cranbrook School are tapping into some All Black magic to boost
their chances on the rugby field next season. The Kent school
have secured the services of former New Zealand forward Hika
Reid as rugby coach and Tom Hillier, a former Wasps player,
parent and Old Boy of Cranbrook School, to work alongside the
59-year-old All Black. An increasingly renowned aspect of what we do is our co-
curriculum. This encompasses everything from the vast number
involved in CCF army/RAF cadets and a huge Duke of Edinburgh
award scheme (Bronze, Silver and Gold).
