Community<br />
Over the past year <strong>Cranford</strong> has developed a strong relationship with Queens<br />
Park Rangers. The school delivers the education programme for their<br />
academy players and the <strong>Cranford</strong> Superdome is now ready and will open autumn<br />
<strong>2015</strong>. <strong>Cranford</strong> students and the wider community are also benefiting from a<br />
number of initiatives led by QPR’s Community Trust.<br />
QPR run two very successful Premier League for Sports clubs at <strong>Cranford</strong>. The<br />
clubs are free and open to anyone from the local community. Currently QPR<br />
run tennis and basketball but are proposing to introduce a new sport in the<br />
new academic year. The club runs weekly with regular<br />
tournaments involving other premier league<br />
teams. The basketball students recently<br />
showed their determination by getting<br />
up at 4:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning to<br />
take part in the National Premier League<br />
Basketball Finals in Sheffield. Sadly they<br />
lost in the quarter finals to Stoke but they<br />
did beat the Manchester United team on<br />
the run up.<br />
Tennis has also proved popular with young<br />
people taking advantage of our excellent<br />
indoor facilities during the winter. Some<br />
of our students had the opportunity to take<br />
part in their first tournament at Roehampton<br />
National Tennis Centre. This was followed by a trip to Wimbledon which<br />
was enjoyed by all.<br />
Friday evening sees the busiest QPR club with 50 to 60 young people aged<br />
between 16 and 19 having a coached football session. This has proved so<br />
popular that students who have left school and gone to university still come<br />
along.<br />
In addition students have benefited from one-off events such as a<br />
coaching session for year 9 girls and boys led by Les Ferdinand and<br />
Charlie Austin.<br />
This has been an excellent first year and we are confident that our<br />
partnership will continue to grow and develop in the future.<br />
