Cranleigh School

Cranleigh is a leading co-educational weekly boarding and day school set in a stunning rural location in more than 240 acres on the edge of the Surrey Hills. Our beautiful campus is exceptionally well equipped, with outstanding classroom, studio, performance and sports facilities. There are strong links between the School and nearby Cranleigh Preparatory School and pupils also join from a wide variety of other prep schools across London and the Home Counties, creating a lively, House-based community of young people who are drawn together by their inherent love of life and getting involved in everything Cranleigh has to offer. Ours is a vibrant school that is large enough for diverse opportunities and yet small enough for every individual pupil to be known, supported and encouraged, whatever activities they undertake. The range of choices available across all year groups is designed to broaden horizons and offer both challenges and opportunities to flourish. A high staff to pupil ratio, dedicated House staff and a nurturing tutor system all ensure that pupils' personal wellbeing is paramount; and discipline is maintained through mutual respect. Cranleigh demonstrates powerfully that academic success does not have to be achieved at the expense of excellence in co-curricular activity. Our examination achievements and university entrance are the best ever. We also continue to achieve exceptional results in a broad range of national sporting competitions. Above all Cranleigh School puts the child first in our decision making, with a focus on the holistic development of young people, supporting a strong education ethic and a day that is built around the motto, which is Ex Cultu Robur (from culture comes strength). Please come and see our School for yourself. You will be most welcome and we look forward to meeting you.
