Yet<br />
again, this has been a very impressive<br />
year for <strong>Cranford</strong> Community<br />
College on so many fronts,<br />
including a further 7% rise in students gaining ‘5+A*-<br />
C including English and Maths and with the school’s<br />
results significantly bucking the national decrease in<br />
outcomes. <strong>Cranford</strong>’s GCSE headline figures are even<br />
further above the national benchmarks and <strong>Cranford</strong> is<br />
now at the top of the rankings locally, outperforming<br />
all but two other schools.<br />
The progress that the students have made is also<br />
significantly above the progress for pupils across the<br />
country and above the average locally. This means that<br />
students at <strong>Cranford</strong> Community College continue to<br />
achieve stunning results in every respect, year on year,<br />
and the school remains strongly outstanding.<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> has a plethora of outstanding subject areas<br />
and this is headlined by impressive academic outcomes<br />
in ALL the core subjects, Mathematics, English and<br />
the sciences (Physics, Biology and Chemistry). Our<br />
sixth form has also been able to offer experience of<br />
working in hospitals and clinics in India for those most<br />
interested in pursuing a career in medicine, dentistry<br />
or pharmacy as well as some students attending the<br />
International Space Camp in the USA.<br />
Our A level students were no exception with superb<br />
outcomes. Needless to say, the track record of <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
students going on to the best universities continues,<br />
with this summer seeing our students secure places at<br />
the top Russell Group universities including Imperial<br />
College, Kings College London, University College<br />
London and Durham University. 99% of our sixth form<br />
students progress to university.<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> has continued to achieve a number of awards<br />
for excellent achievement including becoming one of<br />
the first schools in the UK to be awarded ‘World Class<br />
School’ status.<br />
As a leading Teaching School, we have the highest<br />
quality of professional development for teachers at all<br />
levels so that <strong>Cranford</strong> is able to ensure high quality<br />
and up to date teaching and expertise.<br />
Our partnership work with Berkeley Primary continues<br />
to flourish and Berkeley was cited in HMI’s annual<br />
report to Parliament for the extraordinary journey of<br />
improvement made which was also led by <strong>Cranford</strong>.<br />
Numerous high profile visitors have come to <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
this year and met with our students and perhaps the most<br />
high profile event involved a delegation of <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
students meeting and shaking hands with President<br />
Obama when he visited the UK in <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> hosts the Hounslow Young Citizens scheme<br />
where most primary schools in the borough attended<br />
a training event at the school designed to raise pupil<br />
awareness of risk and their ability to make the right<br />
choices in a range of different situations.<br />
I remain immensely proud of the amazing achievements<br />
of our students and the many successes of <strong>Cranford</strong>.<br />
The school continues to go from strength to strength and<br />
I am delighted to remain so deeply involved with this<br />
school and the community. The stories and photographs<br />
in this brochure give an authentic flavour of just some<br />
of the huge range of opportunities available at <strong>Cranford</strong>.<br />
