We are approaching the end of a long summer, and I am sure keen to deliver your children back to us for the start of a new exciting term.

Estate Development

As ever, there has been no pause in developments at School, even without the pupils. The notable educational improvements are outlined below, but such an beautiful Estate such as ours requires extensive unseen and often unrecognised work, and substantial improvements have been made to the drainage, the driveway, the utilities and landscaping.

My thanks as always to the unfailing Operations and Finance team who have enabled the extensive work taking place over these summer months, including Mr Colclough, Mr Gresty, and my evergreen dream team of Mrs Lambert and, of course, Mrs Holt.

Thanks also to Mark Walsh of Cheshire Contract Furniture for his supervision, oversight and sub-contracting, together with the teams from:

• Countrywide Ground Maintenance

• DW Hargreaves Electrical Services

• South Warrington Plastering

• Lee Mac Painting and Decorating.

Food and Technology Kitchen

Our brand new kitchen is reaching its final stages with an impressive ten workstations now installed and ready for action, with all of the necessary equipments, safety features and teaching tools at hand for some amazing culinary creations.

New Study Room and Library

Our old food and technology kitchen has been fully re-plastered, re-floored, re-wired and fitted ready for future furnishing as a new study area, office and library, and our main corridor through the engine rooms of the school have also been stripped, replastered, refloored and painted to prepare for the onslaught of pupils, scruffing shoes and heavy school bags.

Cransleyfest 2024

My final preparations, checks and risk assessment are in place for Cransleyfest 2024 - the fabulous start to our academic year, and tickets are quickly selling as parents return from holidays, so please don’t delay. Please visit the Cransleyfest page and book tickets through Parentpay as soon as possible to be assured of a ticket.

Open Day

Open Day takes place on Saturday 21st of September for all prospective Junior School and Year 7 parents. Please do share details of the event and this website with friends and family (only if you like them, of course) and mark the date in your own diary: we may need your child.

Other Dates for the Diary will be released this week.
