About Cranmore

In 2019, Cranmore came together with neighbouring school St Teresa’s to form the Effingham Schools Trust (EST), based on a diamond model – a powerful and exciting educational proposition, delivering all the advantages of both single sex and co-education to girls and boys. The partnership has proven incredibly successful, providing new opportunities for pupils of all ages.

EST has continued to grow with Manor House School joining the Trust in September 2023. Three modern, progressive schools, with enviable facilities will deliver best practice teaching to their pupils, whilst maintaining exceptional pastoral care.

The Trust’s diamond model will offer the benefits of the co-ed classroom to very young pupils, the benefits of the single sex classroom in later prep and secondary years, before finally returning to co-education at 6th Form.  

From 2025 the Sixth Form at St Teresa’s will become co-educational, completing the pathway.
This method reflects and acknowledges that girls and boys approach their learning in different ways as they develop.

Cranmore has a wonderful 25 acre site and is blessed with fantastic facilities including a brand new Science and Technology Centre, dedicated music and sports buildings, swimming pool, ICT suites and a Forest School.

Cranmore is proud of its reputation as a leading independent school with all round excellence across a broad curriculum enriched with co-curricular activities.

State-of-the-art classrooms and highly qualified specialist teaching will give boys aged 11 to 16 an exceptional education to GCSE and beyond, without the stress of 11+ and 13+ transfer examinations.
