The Cranbrook Diploma

Beyond A levels, our students participate in the wider Cranbrook Diploma, which develops skills in six key areas. Upon completion, students receive a final certificate of achievement at our annual Speech Day.

The elements of the Cranbrook Diploma are:

1. Achievement of 3 or 4 Academic A levels
2. Completion of an Independent Research Project (c. 1000 words) on a topic of their choice which relates to their future career.
3. Delivery of a 5-minute presentation to an audience on the process and findings of their research project.
4. Involvement in co-curricular activities for at least 2 terms of the year.
5. Participation in a service element including leading a co-curricular activity or supporting other students. This can be outside of school.
6. Engagement in the careers programme evidenced by attendance at careers talks, university open days, our annual careers fair or careers insights sessions.

Over the past years we have been impressed with an amazing standard of research and presentations that our students deliver and our destination data is evidence that students are successfully engaging with careers and co-curricular opportunities.
