Cranford Community College

Cranford Community College is made up of a Sixth Form and main school with students ages 11-19 years. We serve a very diverse community and believe in excellence in all areas. This was evident when we were recognised within the top 20 comprehensive schools in the country in the Time 2024 as voted for by parents. We have brilliant enrichment and CPD opportunities (national and international) for all of our staff, many of whom have started as trainee teachers here and have gone on to become members of the senior leadership team and are also Cranford Community College Alumni. We are proud of what we do and the positive impact we have on the community we serve, impacting the lives of our students and supporting them all to achieve their aspirations.
