IB Diploma Evaluation Visit

Today we welcomed the International Baccalaureate evaluation team for a comprehensive programme review of the Diploma Programme offered at Cranbrook. This is a significant milestone in maintaining our authorisation as an IB World School.

This two-day visit involves experienced IB educators conducting classroom observations, interviewing students and staff, and reviewing our policies and student work. Our School community is actively participating with students confidently sharing their learning experiences and teachers showcasing innovative approaches.

The evaluation team have commended our student-centred learning approaches, collaborative teaching culture, and effective integration of IB philosophy across all subjects. They will be providing us with valuable recommendations for continuous improvement in the weeks ahead.

This visit reaffirmed our commitment to the IB mission of creating a better world through education. We are proud of our students, staff, and families who have demonstrated their commitment throughout the process. A huge vote of thanks to those involved, particularly Mr Nicholas Hanrahan our Head of IB Continuum and Diploma Programme Coordinator for his expert stewardship of this process.

Best regards,

Adrian Harrison
