What the school says:

“With GCSEs, A Levels and IB diplomas in such high demand, many schools focus predominantly on achieving the highest academic grades for their pupils. This however is not the case at Cranleigh Abu Dhabi. We are vehemently opposed to what can be referred to as ‘teaching to the test’. Instead, we strive to ensure that all our pupils are offered a comprehensive curriculum designed to prepare them for life beyond their school days.”
