Cranford Review 2016

Gursharan Pannu
February 2016
(nominted by Ms Sheikh)
Gursharan is a brilliantly compassionate, kind and enthusiastic student who is also very
talented and takes a keen interest in all aspects of school, particularly in the extracurricular.
She, along with Arsida, is always happy to help and take the lead with form
time projects and they work great together as a duo.
When we were writing letters as part of Post Pals and Gursharan, wrote a lovely letter with
Arsida and pulled together a package of gifts for the young children who were terminally
ill. This helped to emphasise to the form how important compassion is and that we should
all show kindness towards each other.
Gursharan has also participated in a number of school performances/productions since joining the school in year
7. Her talents for drama and music have developed over the year. She has been a part of the cast for Caucasian
Chalk Circle, Macbeth (as part of the Shakespeare Festival), participating in concerts, in choir performances
and is clearly enjoying this. She is most definitely an asset to the form group and the school.
Davinder Gill
March 2016
(nominated by Ms Sitharanjan)
Davinder is a hardworking and focused individual, who shows outstanding commitment to
his learning and school community. Davinder is a keen sports man who is hugely involved
in our sports teams and extracurricular activities within and outside the school. Davinder
is a sports leader and captain for many of our sports teams run at Cranford including
football, rugby and basketball and will be nominated for sports leader in parkour. Davinder
has always been willing and eager to represent our school by volunteering to take part and
run student panels, school tours, presentations evenings and taster days and engaging in
career focused activities and trips. Despite all of his extracurricular activities he continues
to work hard and stay focused on his education, by meeting targets and heading towards
his GCSE target grades.
Taylor Panesar
April 2016
(nominated by Ms Ledlie)
Taylor became head boy, has taken the role on and has become a great ambassador for
the school.Taylor is a very clever and ambitious student who has an outstanding record in
curricular and extracurricular activities and possesses a strong drive and determination.
He has been an outstanding member of the army cadet force and he has been a role model
and mentor for other cadets within his own unit as well as throughout the sector.
Taylor does not just accomplish things through his military knowledge or his physical
achievements. He has gained a BTec in Public Services at the level of distinction,
completed his bronze and silver Duke of Edinburgh award and is currently in the process
of completing his gold award.
Taylor has recently completed the Master Cadet course at Frimley Park and received the
overall grade of Highly Competent. He also attended the Level 3 Institute of Leadership
and Management Course.
Taylor’s ambition is to enter the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and complete a full commission to join the
British Army; he has nothing else he would like to do more than to become an officer in the British Army, this
was entirely his own decision and I think it is fitting as it reflects his commitment and dedication to the ACF
as he wants to take all his knowledge and further develop it in the best training college in the world.
