Welcome to nurture belief and ensure the highest standards of learning for all. 'All children have the right to have their gifts and talents cultivated through the process of education. All children can learn and become educated.' (Cuban & Tyack, 1995) 'Equity is a professional obligation. All means all.'
(Dr. Anthony Muhammad) Cranleigh C of E Primary School hopes to become: The most joyful community where professional interdependency, faith and a commitment to nurture leads to exceptional academic results and pupils who are prepared for the modern world.
As a Church School, we have chosen the Parable of the Good Shepherd (Luke:15) to define our vision: Then Jesus told them this parable: "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home.
Then he calls his friends and neighbours together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' (Luke 15: 3-6)
