Cranmer Primary School Competitors

We are a vibrant school full of enthusiastic learners. Our children are at the heart of every decision we make; they motivate and inspire us each day to achieve endless possibilities. The opportunities the school provides for them are relevant to their needs, both now and for the future. As part of Maiden Erlegh Trust we reflect in all we do the trust values of opportunity, diversity and success for all. In recent years, Great Hollands Primary School has transformed itself, achieving so much success in a short space of time. We have developed a culture and ethos within the school that is of high aspirations, care and a relentless drive to be better and to provide our children with the best start in life. We aim to instil a passion for life-long learning in all our children, most important to us, however, is the happiness of each child and alongside our academic excellence we teach emotional resilience strategies to support our children to develop the character and confidence needed to navigate our ever-changing world. We provide our pupils with the skills and knowledge to thrive in this modern world. We are rightly proud of our achievements in Reading, Writing and Maths (our results in 2019 being more than the national average), yet we offer so much more. Our curriculum is based on a mastery approach and every lesson and every experience is tailored towards ensuring that every pupil reaches their potential. We nurture the whole child, striving to develop resilience, confidence and character in our children whilst developing a drive to succeed, keep safe, healthy and happy so they can play a positive and active role in the world.
