World Youth Chess Championship Congratulations to Aditya Verma in class 4R who competed in the World Youth Chess Championship which was held in Slovenia. He came 4th out of 136 participants from 103 countries and was ranked the 8th best player in the world (in the age 8 category). He deservedly received his prize from the legendary chess player and former champion, Gary Kasparov. Well done, Aditya! Wow!

Religious Trips At Cranbrook we celebrate all the main religions of the world throughout our curriculum. Often year groups visit places of worship to enhance the children's understanding of their RE topic.forms a very important learning experience for the children and if children do not attend these trips they are unable to access some of the work in class that the other children who went will. At Cranbrook we pride ourselves on celebrating the diversity of our community and we believe it is important to show understanding and tolerance of all people who make up our community. Therefore, I do expect all parents to support this by allowing their child to attend. Please note that we are in the process of organising a trip to the mosque next year.
