Cranmore School is an independent day school set within 25 acres of grounds in West Horsley, Surrey. Founded in 1968, the school follows a Roman Catholic ethos and is part of the Effingham Schools Trust. It operates a diamond model, offering co-education in the early years before transitioning to single-sex provision for boys aged 7 to 16. The campus features various facilities, including a purpose-built music school with a Mander pipe organ, a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a nine-hole golf course, and a contemporary Science and Technology Centre.

Selectivity:

Academic

Applicants for the Senior School at Year 7 undergo the ISEB Common Pre-Tests, which evaluate skills in English, mathematics, and both verbal and non-verbal reasoning. Candidates also complete a creative writing exercise and participate in an informal group interview. In the Prep School, pupils joining Years 5 and 6 sit formal assessments in English and mathematics, while those entering between Years 1 and 4 participate in informal assessments during a welcome morning. All admissions decisions are supported by a confidential reference from the student's current headteacher.
