We have really enjoyed our time here. The tutors have been great. There is a lovely atmosphere at Cranedale from the moment we arrive we feel looked after, safe and excited about the activities. The courses are evolving each year - a great learning experience and lots of fun. Thank you everyone.

I think I have been to Cranedale 15 times now. It improves every year it seems. Very slick to the specification and very enjoyable. I've got some nice complimentary pens too!! Thanks.

“Appreciated the way that you fitted our small group in with other schools and the flexibility shown with regard to our option choices. The only thing missing from this ‘home from home’ is a morning newspaper and the Times crossword!”

Really excellent course covering all the sections of the specification requested. Students were encouraged to use and understand the "buzz words" needed for the specification.
Excellent delivery with enthusiastic tutors who made a real effort to learn the student names and answer any of their questions.
