Enrichment Activities

At Cranbourne, students are given the opportunity to try new activities, discover talents and explore interests. There are a variety of different after school clubs and sports on offer - why not give something new a go? After school clubs are free of charge, and require no sign ups. Students can attend as and when they like!

Each year, our Performing Arts Department put on show-stopping productions. In recent years, shows have included Legally Blonde, Sister Act and most recently, Guys and Dols. The next production will be Matilda Jr in 2027.

We regularly have the opportunity to take groups of students to watch dress rehearsals for upcoming performances at Queen Mary’s College.

We are also very proud to offer unique experiences and opportunities for students to attend trips outside of school. Recent trips include a Year 7 History visit to Salisbury Cathedral, visits to the West End, and our Hair and Beauty students got hands on experience at the Lush Factory in Poole.

Cranbourne is twinned with Lodewijk College in South Holland, where students have the opportunity to be pen-pals with the Dutch students before meeting in person. Over the years, the scheme has been highly successful, with students making lifelong bonds.

We are grateful to be able to offer exciting experiences for students to attend trips outside of the UK. This year, students on our annual Ski Trip are due to be heading to Bardonecchia in the Italian Alps, and in Half Term 2027, Year 9 students studying 3D Design, Photography and Art will be exploring the culture of New York City.

We have an extensive careers programme at Cranbourne that aims to give students the tools they need to make informed decisions about their future. We regularly have local businesses, colleges and the armed forces deliver assemblies, giving students an insight into what is on offer. In Year 9, students visit local universities and begin to explore potential pathways to Higher Education.

We host an annual Careers Fair and Year 10 students get a taste of life outside of Cranbourne when they complete a week of Work Experience. KS4 students can access 1:1 careers advice from a dedicated Careers Advisor and mentors from DWP.
