"Mixed experience at Cranford so far"

We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Cranford so far. On the plus side, the staff have been friendly and welcoming, and our child has enjoyed some of the extracurricular activities. However, we've been concerned about the communication between teachers and parents, and the school's handling of certain issues. We're hoping things will improve as the year goes on.

"A great school with excellent facilities"

We've been really impressed by the facilities at Cranford, including the 3G Dome and sports centre. Our child has loved participating in various sports and clubs, and we've appreciated the emphasis on physical activity and health. While we've had some minor issues with communication, overall we're very happy with the school and would recommend it to other families.
