“Choosing to do the investigate skills approach rather than collecting NEA data has proven much more valuable to us as teachers and to the students. This has allowed students to experience an in depth understanding of the NEA process and are now well equipped to begin/undertake their own investigations”
NIKKI ASHTON
Tuxford Academy
“Excellent facilities. Students enjoyed all food – especially the puddings! Tutors were excellent – kept the students motivated and subject knowledge was fantastic”.
Amy Rush
Rainham Mark Grammar School
“There are few places in life which strive to do everything and more than “what it says on the tin,” but in eight visits to The Cranedale Centre, I have always found this to be so. Our girls have had a simply marvellous field trip and we will be back next year!”.
Dan Sayers
St Hilda’s School
“Levels of attention to detail are exemplary. The supporting knowledge and tuition provided by staff was outstanding. Staff engaged the students throughout”.
Paul Ferguson
Sandwell College
“Highly delighted with how the fieldtrip has gone. Students clearly understand how they could apply the skills learnt to their own independent investigation.”
BEV ELLIOT
Abbey Grange Academy
“Very impressed with the standard of rooms and hygiene. The grounds and location are also stunning. The quality of food is excellent. Lovely, knowledgeable staff and team who really engaged and enthused the students”.
Ryan Cronin

“I have been coming to Cranedale for 20 years and every time I visit I go home with the same feeling – an outstanding field studies centre, with passionate staff who make learning interesting and fun.”
GUY PENDLEBURY

“Once again another fantastic visit to the Cranedale Centre. The children have a wonderful time which translates back into the classroom where we see their confidence grow, they become more independent and grown up.”

SCOTT WALKER
Rodillian Academy
“I’m so pleased we chose Cranedale to lead on our fieldwork this year. It was an experience that I just don’t think we ourselves could offer in terms of the breadth and depth of study in the short time available. The tutors were excellent – supportive, passionate and friendly.”
DAVID SLADEN
Sherburn High School
“We have recently been to another field studies centre. What you offer is substantially better. We really appreciate the money you are spending on equipment, and the time you are spending developing exam board specific fieldwork”
JANE AYLING
King’s Peterborough
“All tutors were exceptional again. Always impressed with subject knowledge, particularly with things that stretch our highest ability students.”
LAURA COOKSON
Longcroft School
