Admissions
Selecting the right secondary school for your child is an important step in their education.
Excellent teachers and passionate learners are the foundation of our educational offer. Our students’ approach to their studies is ‘determined, persistent and ambitious’ (Ofsted 2021). Our curriculum follows the traditional academic focus alongside a vocational approach ensuring all of our students can access the learning and gain the outcomes they need to move on to post-16 education. We encourage our students to be independent, risk-taking and passionate as they progress through their learning journey at Cranbourne.
