Cranleigh School

Cranleigh School, founded in 1863 in the Surrey village of Cranleigh, is a leading co-educational independent boarding and day school educating approximately 700 students aged 13 to 18. Offering GCSE and A-Level programmes, Cranleigh is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC) and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). The school draws students from the UK and over 35 countries, with international students making up approximately 20% of the community. Cranleigh's 280-acre estate in the Surrey Hills provides exceptional facilities for sport, the arts, and academic study. The school's outstanding performing arts provision includes a purpose-built music school, a 500-seat theatre, and drama studios. Sport is central to school life, with a sports complex, indoor swimming pool, and extensive playing fields. Cranleigh is particularly known for its excellence in cricket and rugby. The boarding community — across eight boarding houses — provides a warm and supportive residential environment. Cranleigh's focus on academic ambition combined with exceptional personal development makes it one of Surrey's most sought-after independent schools.
