Ilford Recorder Front Page!

Cranbrook School's Christmas celebrations were captured by the Ilford Recorder and placed on the newspapers front page.

Children at Cranbrook donned their Christmas outfits and told traditional Christmas stories to a delighted audience of parents and teachers.

Billy Bo entertained the reception children and Cranbrook School laid on an array of delicious party food for all the children and staff who made it a wonderful day.

Open Morning Nursery - Yr 6

Come and visit us at our Open Morning 

9.00am - 11.30am 18th January 2012

This is an opportunity to hear about the Read Write Inc programme that is now being launched in Key Stage 1 and how this system can benefit your child's progress. Key stage 2 is made up of years 3-6 and is dedicated to children ranging between seven and eleven years of age.  It is a highly exciting time, The Golden Age, where children are arguably at their most receptive, ambitious and inquisitive.  Cranbrook Prep school follows a broad dynamic curriculum to encourage our children to be Creative Thinkers, Team workers, Effective Participators and increasingly self-managing, independent enquirers and Reflective Learners.  in this way we ensure that your child cultivates the most fertile and fruitful of foundations, so that they may then with open eyes, ears, hearts and minds seek out and embrace the many challenges that lie ahead.

We look forward to sharing this vision with you.

International Walk to School Month

October is International Walk to School Month! In celebration we promoted the campaign by entering the Redbridge walk to school banner design competition.

This competition challenged pupils to design their own banner that could be turned into a full scale (1m x 2.5m) railing banner that will encourage their peers to walk to school.

The Prep sent in 4 designs.
