Cranbrook's story is a remarkable one. We remain what we always were, the free Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth in Cranbrook, now translated into a thriving, co-educational, academic, grammar school. We also remain a major boarding school, offering a fine education to boys and girls from throughout the country, and indeed the world. No other school blends so completely the traditions of State and Independent school.

We aim to offer the best of both traditions - to make available an excellent academic education to pupils living in the school's area, and to add to it the strengths of a good boarding school, within the maintained system, at a reasonable price.

We seek to realise the following educational aims:

• To maintain and develop in pupils lively enquiring minds; to promote the ability to question and argue rationally; to encourage pupils to apply themselves to a range of tasks and skills including the application of Information Technology
• To foster attitudes which will instil self-confidence in pupils, create in them a sense of personal excellence and help them acquire knowledge and skills relevant to life and work in a fast changing world
• To emphasise the importance of language, number, the aesthetic and physical areas of learning and to develop competence in them
• To help pupils to develop personal, spiritual and moral values, an understanding of religions and beliefs, a tolerance of others and their ways of life and to be caring members of their community
• To help pupils understand the world in which they live and the interdependence of individuals, groups and nations
• To develop in pupils the ability to appreciate critically human achievements and aspirations
• Our curriculum is the means by which we pursue these aims.
