Ethos Statement

Cranbourne is a settled, diverse and harmonious school where young people from Basingstoke and beyond learn together.  The school has a family feel with vertical tutor groups, cross-year, extra-curricular opportunities, which unite children of all ages.  The school is well ordered and has high expectations.  We encourage each child to be their unique self.

Our expert teachers create a culture of enquiry based learning, enthusing and challenging students to nurture knowledge, skills and talent in a safe environment, where they can reach their potential.

Staff and students work hard to connect with each other to enable a symbiotic relationship between learning and social development.  All students are encouraged to contribute to the school’s pursuit of excellence; taking on new responsibilities, safe in the knowledge that members of our community are always by their side.  A strong network of Cluster primary schools completes the Cranbourne family.

Our extracurricular provision enhances learning and development, building cultural capital, confidence and leadership skills, alongside a greater depth of knowledge and understanding.
