We are delighted to share that Cranleigh has been been announced as a Finalist in the Talk Education Innovation in Education Awards 2024 in the Thinking Beyond the Curriculum category.
At Cranleigh, we are clear that learning, whilst it should never do less than prepare young people to excel in formal assessments, should also go beyond this. Our philosophy of learning – Cranleigh Thinking – is all about teaching beyond the test. It means that we aspire to focus not just on the successful delivery of excellent outcomes as measured by examinations, but also the nurturing of the toolkit of skills and personal dispositions that will strengthen and deepen life for Cranleighans when those examinations, so challenging and all-pervasive at the time, have dwindled to the size of a speck in the rear-view mirror.
We have chosen to put thinking at the heart of our approach to deeper learning because, beyond all other qualities, it is the ability to think well that will best ensure young people are ready to face the challenges of an unpredictable future.
