From the Cranbourne
Greetings from Cranbourne! We are an 11–16 school located in the city's core. The school has outstanding facilities, including vast playing fields, specialised art, media, and design workshops, as well as an indoor swimming pool, and is located in a leafy neighbourhood near to the town centre. We also gain from receiving specialised vocational training in the fields of sport, music, and hair and beauty. The needs of each unique student are the primary focus of the school. We take great pride in both our GCSE performance and our specialised unit for teaching dyslexic pupils. Our adaptable approach combines a traditional academic focus with practical training programmes and well-taught life skills. We want to create opportunities that inspire our students to explore their own potential while also opening new doors without blocking future avenues. With a strong sense of family in our vertical tutor groups, a robust sense of competition, and a wealth of cultural and sporting opportunities, our House System provides the school a unique atmosphere. Together, we learn a lot and have a great time. My goal is for our students to recall their time with us as some of their happiest moments.
