cranford community college
The academy and its community are rightly proud of the tremendous achievements
of Cranford students and staff and the recognition that the academy achieves
nationally and internationally, and at GCSE and A level, as a result of their
efforts. Cranford students (all groups) and their expert teachers consistently
out-perform the national trends. The relentless drive for high standards and
achievement, combined with a breath-taking range of opportunities has resulted
in impressive grades and personal skills, and promoting better life chances for
all of our students. The academy has the highest standards over time in
Teaching, Achievement & Progress, Student Behaviour, Leadership & Management,
Safeguarding and other aspects, such as spiritual, moral, social and cultural
development. A catalogue of awards continues to endorse the high achievement and
rapid progress that the students and the academy make, year on year. The
exemplary work of the academy is shared with other schools and academies
locally, nationally and internationally. Cranford has played a key role in
London's Gold Club, as a ‘Leading Edge’ academy, with the SSAT, PiXL and
Challenge Partners networks and in association with the ‘National College for
Teaching & Leadership’, just to name a few. Students and staff also benefit from
its projects with partners such as the Institute of Physics, the British
Council, various embassies and key universities. It is always amazing to reflect
upon the enormous range of curricular and extra-curricular events, activities,
trips and enrichment opportunities that have helped to develop and realise the
potential and the differing talents that exist within our student and staff
population. The success of the academy is due to the dedicated staff that make
all these things happen and to students, parents, partner organisations, alumni
and ‘friends of Cranford’ who participate so enthusiastically and work so hard
for success. In this way, Cranford works together as a united and harmonious
team to achieve such amazing results and create so many opportunities. I remain
extremely proud of the academy, its students and its community. Cranford
continues to find creative ways to excel in spite of various challenging
circumstances, most notably in recent years being the impact of the pandemic on
young people, deprived communities and on the costs for schools/academies.
