Our assessments continued this week, with Year 11 pupils undertaking their mock GCSE examinations. The pupils have demonstrated commendable maturity and focus, managing their time effectively between revision and rest as they prepare for the continuation of their examinations next week. Beyond the classroom, it has been particularly pleasing to see strong engagement from our senior school pupils in a range of extension opportunities. Participation in the Bebras Challenge reached a record high this year. All pupils are to be congratulated on their efforts, and I was especially impressed by the high overall standard of achievement, including one pupil who attained a perfect top score. In addition, our extracurricular clubs programme commenced this week, providing pupils with valuable opportunities to involve themselves in a diverse selection of activities. Regardless of the weather, Cranmore pupils remain active on the sports fields. This week saw various age groups taking part in rugby, hockey and football fixtures, and we look forward to further competitions in swimming and cross-country over the weekend. I am also pleased to note the upcoming CPA Quiz and Curry Night, scheduled for Friday 13th March. This highly anticipated annual event promises an enjoyable evening of excellent food and spirited competition. With the teachers’ table currently holding the champion title, we expect another lively contest this year. I very much hope you will be able to join us after the half-term break for what is sure to be a memorable occasion.
Mr Everitt
