At the end of this week I conclude my time at Cranbrook (actually, I am here until 17 July) and I wish to thank the staff, students and parents who have made me feel welcome over the past ten weeks. As I have noted on numerous occasions, I have a great deal of affection for Cranbrook and it has been a pleasure being part of this vibrant community again.
Please may I ask that you read the next paragraph very closely as we are moving towards a new School Management System. The Compass system promises to provide a much more streamlined service for parents and for staff and will certainly assist the smooth running of the School. This new management system goes live 1 July, and we look forward to delivering an improved service to parents.
