Cranbrook Primary Statement Governors, parents and staff have worked together to compose a statement that clearly reflects the stance that Cranbrook Primary School takes and this statement will now be evident around the school and on its documentation.
We, the adults and children at Cranbrook Primary School, embrace every member of our community and their race, ethnicity, religion, gender, physical and mental ability, beliefs, etc. We recognize all that they contribute to the school. Every person is unique and brings varying life experiences, beliefs and cultures. They positively add to the rich learning environment of our community. We will respect, value and learn from all of these, ensuring that we treat everyone as we would wish to be treated. This will uphold the Cranbrook Values of:
Respect
Excellence
Equality
Friendship
Courage
Determination
Inspiration
We will challenge any individual or group who does not support this ethos. If we fully encompass the diversity of Cranbrook Primary School our children today will develop a broad outlook on life which will impact positively on their future tomorrow.


Zambia Beyond Ourselves, the organization through which we link with Janna Community School in Zambia, are sending a container out to a Zambia in the middle of February. The children at the school really need shoes and underclothes for their days at school. So, if you could donated any used school shoes (in good condition) and any new children’s underwear (socks, pants and vests) please send them in with your child and Helen will ensure that get included in the container. Thank you, in advance for your generosity.

Year 1 and 4 performance dates The Year 1 performance to parents is on Wednesday 28th March at 2pm.
The Year 4 performance to parents is on Wednesday 21st March pm.

Parent’s Evening A letter will be coming out tomorrow, so please ensure that you reply promptly. Teachers will send out confirmations next week.

Suggestion Box In response to parents’ requests during a recent coffee morning we have placed a suggestion box in the reception area. We would like to invite parents to put forward any positive comments, ideas or suggestions for things that you would like to see at Cranbrook and we will try our best within reason to make them happen.
