Dear Parents and Carers,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you and your child to Cranberry Academy. This website is intended to help you know more about the life and work of our school.
While a website can only give a snapshot of what we do, we hope it gives you a sense of our school community. We would always encourage you to visit us and experience the warm and welcoming atmosphere of our school for yourself.
To show determination and perseverance
To show mutual respect, kindness and understanding of the world and everyone in it
To develop an eagerness to explore, discover and learn
To be proud of oneself and want to do our best in every aspect of school life and beyond
To make positive, healthy life choices and be happy
To develop independence and make responsible, safe choices
Cranberry Academy is a happy, friendly and safe place where children develop a yearning for learning. We believe that education is preparation for life and we nurture our children to be confident, independent and empathetic learners.
At Cranberry, we seek to prepare each child to face life beyond the school with confidence. We aspire to set high standards for personal behaviour and self-belief, with kindness and respect for other people of all ages, races and cultures. We provide exciting and quality learning experiences in a safe, secure and happy environment.
Technology plays a key role in children’s learning and is used to aid and enhance their abilities within a range of subjects. Our computer suite, iPads, interactive whiteboards and various software and programs all contribute to creating engaging and stimulating lessons that help our children to reach their full potential. As technology is constantly changing and improving, our staff, governors and the children themselves are given the opportunity to contribute in discussions about how we can utilise technology more effectively in the future.
