The headteacher of Archbishop Cranmer, Kate Watson said the children are proud.

"We announced the news in assembly, earning us a great cheer from the children, they are rightly very proud of this achievement.

We constantly celebrate great work, sporting achievements, success in the arts, take-care attitudes and children acting with integrity so an accolade like this really justifies our approach to focussing on more than just reading, writing and maths. We offer a full and rounded curriculum which genuinely has children at its heart.

"If you visit the school, it’s clear to see that our educational philosophy is about providing a culture of opportunity for every child so everyone has the chance to shine."
