Set in 280 acres of the Surrey Hills, Cranleigh is more than a school – it is a living, breathing community where Ex Cultur Robur truly comes to life: from our culture comes strength. Founded in 1865 and proudly co-educational today, Cranleigh has schools across the UK, UAE and China and blends deep-rooted tradition with an outward-looking, progressive spirit. At the heart of our red-brick quadrangle and clock tower lies a campus alive with energy, friendship and shared purpose. With pupils aged 3–18, a mix of day and boarding life, and a strong sense of belonging among staff, Cranleigh is a place where people put down roots and flourish. Life here is busy, joyful and full of opportunity – whether on the sports fields, in rehearsal rooms, classrooms or common rooms – and there is always something happening that brings our community together.
