Cranleigh is a mature leading co-educational boarding and day school set in over 280 acres on the edge of the Surrey Hills. Cranleigh provides a breath taking range of opportunities in a school small enough for everyone to know and each other.
We are a family school and offer a broad holistic education that draws the best out of children whatever their talents. We look after the most able through our scholarship and elite development programmes, but we want every child to participate in sport music and drama.
Pupils join from a wide variety of prep schools across London, the Home Counties and abroad, creating a lively, House-based community of young people who are drawn together by their inherent love of life and getting involved in everything Cranleigh has to offer.
Both schools share the motto Ex Cultu Robur (from Culture comes Strength), an ethos which celebrates co-curricular success alongside academic excellence with remarkable results for every pupil, year on year.
