The security of a strong family provides the conditions in which our staff can thrive. What stands out about Cranmer is our commitment to connection through great people, great systems, underpinned by a powerful culture of communities of improvement.
Every school, every person in our family, can mobilise improvement capacity on behalf of the group, feeling part of a single, focused organisation, underpinned by a shared culture and People Strategy. We share a sense of obligation and accountability for the education of the children we serve.
Our inclusive approach welcomes diverse communities, serving children and young people across Oldham, Rochdale, and beyond. We share a sense of obligation and accountability for the education of the children we serve, ensuring every role—from classroom to central team—contributes to our vision of excellence.

One of the ways we create community is by bringing people together to compete and to celebrate our achievements.
Each year, children, young people and staff participate in ‘Cranmer Games’ where they take part in rounders, football and quizzes with the aim of winning "The Cranmer Cup".
Through "The Cranmer Poets" we celebrate poetry together through a competition culminating in a joyful evening where we honour young voices and creative expression.
We recognise unique abilities and achievements together. We talk about generosity of spirit, we model personal responsibility and we set high expectations when it comes to kindness. Our celebrations are a public manifestation of our culture and our ambition to build cohesive, integrated, respectful communities for all.
