The A level Mindset 5K run at Kempton Park<br />
This year the sixth form pastoral teams have been delivering VESPA-the A level Mindset. A coaching<br />
system designed to help students achieve the right mindset to maximise their achievement at A Level.<br />
The Science department decided to put the advice into action to show students that it does work if you<br />
try it. We set a clear goal of competing in A 5K run at Kempton Park on the 3rd March <strong>2019</strong>. We applied<br />
the theory of marginal gains (where one tiny change can lead to big gains) and added regular training<br />
into our daily schedules. We worked as a team to motivate each other and broke our targets down into<br />
small achievements. On the day we did not let Storm Freya deter us and through the wind and rain we<br />
completed the couch potato to 5K successfully.<br />

National Success at the Foreign Language Spelling Bee <strong>2019</strong><br />
This<br />
year, all of our year 7 students took part in the<br />
Foreign Language Spelling Bee competition<br />
for Spanish and German. Three of our students, Syed<br />
Ali Hasan, Krithik Balamugunthan, and Haider Mughal<br />
qualified as school champions to compete in the Regional<br />
Final in March <strong>2019</strong> as part of the last 105 out of 7807<br />
contestants for London. In true <strong>Cranford</strong> spirit, the three<br />
qualifying boys were not only exceptionally supportive<br />
of each other before, during and after the competition,<br />
but also of other participants. They had to translate each<br />
word from English into German/Spanish, before spelling<br />
it correctly in the respective language!<br />
To top off that fantastic achievement, Haider Mughal then<br />
went on to qualify for the National Final taking place at<br />
Cambridge University on Monday, 1st July <strong>2019</strong>. He was<br />
part of the last 99 out of 30300 participants nationwide and<br />
has made <strong>Cranford</strong> proud. Although he did not<br />
finish in the top 4 his enthusiasm, hard work and<br />
absolute commitment to achieve his best must be<br />
congratulated as he truly is a Spelling Bee Star.<br />
Well done to Syed, Krithik and Haider. We are<br />
all extremely proud of you.<br />
