Significant events

• “The 1st XV rugby team enjoyed an outstanding season, going unbeaten and finishing as runners-up in the prestigious Daily Mail National Trophy. This season marked a historic milestone for Cranleigh rugby, with the school proudly celebrating its first-ever female international player.”
• “Academic results at GCSE and A Level were some of the best in recent memory with 76% of all GCSE grades in English, mathematics and science graded 9-7 and 83% of A Level grades at A*- B.”
• “74% of students accepted their first choice university offer with 86% of the year group (113 students) going to Russell Group or equivalent universities - the joint highest percentage in recent memory. This was our most successful year in terms of offers received since 2016.”
• “Last year our Michaelmas senior school production 'The Girl on the Train' broke all expectations of what a school show should look like in taking on the ambitious Live Cinema technique made famous by Katie Mitchell. The production was nominated in 4 categories at The National School Theatre Awards which were held in June, with Sophia Ferguson winning in the Best Actress category.”
• “The year concluded with a major success as the contingent was named 'Best Contingent' at summer camp.”
• “Most notably, our Sixth Form pupils are now benefiting from a new Sixth Form Centre which has been created from the existing staff common room”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
