School’s culture of co-education

CRANFORD School prides itself as a fully co-educational through-school where boys and girls thrive.

Regarded as one of the UK’s leading small independent co-educational schools, Cranford is renowned for its strong focus on pastoral care and consistently attaining high academic results while building supportive relationships between pupils and staff.

As an already established, fully co-educational school, pupils thrive where the attention to each pupil and their teaching and learning needs is second to none.

With unbeatable pastoral care and superb facilities for sport and the performing arts, Cranford’s pupils enjoy educational excellence. Regarded among families as one of Oxfordshire’s best-kept little secrets, the school, rated “excellent” in all areas, is a warmly welcoming, independent day school for boys and girls aged three to 18.

Headmaster Dr James Raymond said: “Cranford enjoys a strong reputation for both teaching excellence and for maintaining a focus on each individual pupil’s progress that ensures everyone achieves their full potential. An atmosphere of academic endeavour is at the heart of school life, but a Cranford education offers much more than simple academic success. Ensuring each child feels safe and supported is key to building their growing confidence in their own abilities. Visitors to our school comment on the happy atmosphere, while our students describe Cranford as a family community where everyone knows and supports each other.

“We aim to ignite every individual’s curiosity and interest, and I am delighted to say that the scope of our students’ accomplishments is exceptional.”

The excellent quality of education on offer for each and every Cranford pupil is a hallmark, where academic pursuits are supported by an opportunity-rich and extensive co-curricular programme.

Beyond the classroom, these opportunities offer pupils ways to expand learning, build confidence and explore their sense of curiosity. With more than 100 different engaging, fun and inclusive clubs on offer, the variety allows each pupil from reception through to sixth form to choose their own mix of interests, whether that be cooking up a storm in food tech or picking up a lacrosse stick for the first time.

Discover what a Cranford education can offer your child at the whole school open morning on Saturday, October 11 from 9.30am to noon.
