Quotations

The art activity is a great way to finish up some coursework or just bring out your creative side. Just like art lessons themselves you can chose from a number of different areas, so there is something to suit everyone.

If you want to be an author, or just want to improve your English, then you should choose to do creative writing. You learn to write stories and you don’t have to write about the boring things English teachers normally make you do!

DT is always popular. You can work on an electronics kit, or build something you have wanted for ages and at a fraction of the cost of buying it.

Framing is a different and very popular activity in which you make professional looking picture frames.

Tech. Theatre is a great way to be a part of a school play if you are not the acting type.
You learn how all the important electronics work that makes a good play great.

The things that have been made in this activity are amazing. You could make anything from a modern art bench to a ‘state of the art’ sledge.

Budding actors who want to get the leading role in the next school play, this activity is for you.

Sport activities include: Golf, Hockey Skills, Indoor Football and Lacrosse, Riding, Water Polo, Boxercise, Dance, Fives, Squash, Swimming and Badminton. With such a wide range of sporting activities this gives all pupils the chance to shine.

Quotations
With such a great sports facility as the Trevor Abbott Sport’s Centre it seems a shame to let it go to waste and playing badminton you definitely don’t do that.

Basketball, the name says it all. With coaching and matches your game improves and you don’t get bored, great for beginners and experts alike.

Put boxing and exercise together and you get boxercise. Stress relief and fitness is a great combination.

You may think that there isn’t enough space in the Cranleigh pool but some how there is, and anyway everyone who does canoeing always ends up with great control over the boat.

Music activities include: music practice, orchestra, saxophone quartet, clarinet ensemble, concert band, Cranleigh voices, string quartet, chapel brass and jazz group. With music at such a high standard at Cranleigh, having so many music activities are understandable.

Quotations
Big band is a jazz band. It is definitely one of the most popular bands to see when it performs and the only way you can be part of it is by doing this activity.

Chapel brass is the only activity that lets you play the best hymns and be a major part of services such as the remembrance service.

If you play the clarinet and want to improve your playing then you must join the Clarinet Ensemble.

If you like music and want to play more concerts then you should join the Concert Band.

Individual Music Practice gives you time to brush up on a scale or finish the last bit of a piece before your next music lesson.
