Choosing a school is a big decision. Our friendly admissions team is here to help you at every stage of the joining process.
We welcome boys and girls from 5 to 18 years, offering one seamless journey from the Prep School through to the Senior School. At the same time, we welcome pupils from other schools who join in different year groups. In both the Prep and Senior School, we share the same culture, aims and ethos.
Our longstanding co-educational culture provides an environment where girls and boys are comfortable together, learn to respect and value one another and be themselves, not just in the classroom but in every aspect of school life.
Cranleigh is a school where pupils can make their own choices and know they will be supported on their journey
We are mindful of the needs of modern working families and the need to offer flexible options. Our Day option is perfectly suited to families living close to school; Day pupils participate fully in the academic, sporting and co-curricular life of the School. Meanwhile, Day Plus offers families greater flexibility; Day Plus pupils can stay overnight in their boarding house one night a week, or two nights at a nominal cost. This particularly suits pupils with sports or evening activities or just those who want to enjoy a taste of the boarding experience.
Three quarters of our Senior School pupils are boarders, creating a vibrant community. We have eight boarding houses and boys and girls houses are twinned, encouraging our pupils to build friendships beyond their immediate circle. Boarders have the option of going home at weekends after sports on Saturdays although they can stay up to 7 nights a week if they want to. There’s a full programme of weekend activities to keep everyone entertained plus plenty of downtime after a busy week. We give our Year 9 boarders the option of a night at home mid-week in their first term – just to settle them into boarding life.
