University of Cranford Park
Personal Development is very important to us. We recognise that our children have skills and interests beyond the National Curriculum and we are keen to nurture and develop these.
Every Friday afternoon, the school participate in our University of Cranford Park. Children choose which 'faculty' to learn in and come together with other children from across the school to follow a programme for a term or half term. In addition to learning useful skills or knowledge which they would not otherwise have the opportunity to discover, this provides opportunities for collaboration, for leadership and to discover further interests and avenues of learning not usually available to primary school children.
