Alumni
Archbishop Cranmer Academy prides itself on its strong sense of community. Lifelong friendships are formed at the school gates and we are thrilled that so many of our former students and their families come back and visit us.
We watch with interest the paths that our past pupils follow after they have left us and we always enjoy hearing about their experiences and achievements when they come back and see us.
To find out how to stay involved please contact the school office office@archbishopcranmer.notts.sch.uk or call us on 01949850627
Past Pupil News
Every year we welcome past students back in to school to support them for their work experience program whilst at secondary school. We think this is a great opportunity for them to return and deliver inspiration to current students.
Previous winners of our Hilary Mantel Creative Writing Award, our Cranmer Cup for Character and Integrity and our Maddison Trophy for Profound Personal Development, also return to our Year 6 Leavers' service to 'hand over' to the new recipients and share experiences about how being an Archbishop Cranmer cup winner has inspired and motivated them.

- Past pupil Joe, volunteers with us every week to help with PE and Games. Since working with us he has decided he would like to pursue a career as a teacher.
- Since We received an email from author Julie Malone who organises the UK Young Writer competition which our students enter each year. she refers to one of our ex-students, Aiden who we encouraged to enter this competition whilst at ABC. It is great to hear of his continued success. She wrote: I was asked by one of our poetry finalists if I could arrange an event where our young poets could read their own entries. This took place a couple of weeks ago. I invited some of our poets over the past couple of years ........... Aidan John participated and he did really well. It was good to see him again.
Very best wishes Julie Malone Children's Author (Jae Malone) Founder and President New Writers UK

- We were very proud to hear that 2 of our ex-students and members of our table tennis club, reached the secondary school National Finals in January 2020 and played in the English Schools National Championships. They represented Toot Hill (our feeder school) continuing the table tennis they started at Archbishop Cranmer.
- Aiden returned to us from his secondary school to perform to parents and children in Gold book assembly and we all enjoyed his impressive violin performance. Aiden started lessons whilst at primary school and now plays at a high level. Afterwards, he held a question and answer session with our Year 6 children. Click here to listen to his performance.
- In October we welcomed three ex students who joined us for a week of 'work experience' in Key Stage 1. They were all positive role models for our younger children and we appreciated their help very much.
- Evie came back to visit us after she had moved to secondary school and supported us by helping with the lights and sound system at our Year 6 Summer Performance.
