Cranmore

Cranmore is a leading Surrey Prep school with an impressive academic record underpinned by strong pastoral care. There is very little that Cranmore does not offer: from Mandarin to Greek or rowing to skiing; it is truly a learning environment. The extensive 25 acre site provides an unrivalled, broad-ranging academic focus, superb sports /music facilities with fantastic opportunities for all pupils. Michael Connolly, Headmaster, was appointed in 2006 having enjoyed twelve successful years as Headmaster at his previous school. He moved south from his native Glasgow to begin his teaching career in Surrey but has moved around the country to explore different roles which have included being a Head of Physics and running a boarding house in a senior school. He was also keen to gain overseas experience and worked for British Aerospace as a lecturer to the Royal Saudi Air Force. He is a very experienced school inspector and serves on the board of several educational bodies at both national and local level. Michael is regularly invited to write articles on educational issues for several publications. He feels most at home in Surrey where he is committed to promoting the benefits of Prep School education.
