Cranford Review 2014

first to help and offer advice to his peers and younger
students. Ashvinder is one of those students who will
always be there when needed. He is a natural leader and
supports his friends as well as staff. He can be relied
upon 100% and in return he never expects anything.
His calm personality and aura enables one to value the
profession because if all our students were like him it
would be bliss.
February 2014:
Lay Soni
(year 9)
Lay is a very helpful and enthusiastic
student who always helps others.
He doesn’t give up easily and tells
others not to lose their faith. He
is good at speaking in public and
solving problems. He is a good
learner, not just in school but he also helps out in the
community.
Lay has been nominated by students and the Middlesex
Cricket Board.
March 2014:
Harmanpreet Singh
(year 9)
Harmanpreet has been nominated
by fellow students because he has
always contributed to form and other
school activities. He was selected
as our sports rep and he is a FROG
champion. He has made outstanding
contributions to the year group and can be relied upon.
He has 100% attendance since the start of year 7 which
shows his dedication to the school and his studies.
His tutor says: Harman is a lovely, well-mannered and
helpful student. He can be relied upon by members of
staff and his peers. He is always willing to lend me a
helping hand whenever necessary, always volunteering
to represent the form for inter-form competitions etc,
and sets a very positive example to the rest of his peers.
He is always one of the first people to volunteer to
look after new starters and take them under his wing.
He is a respectful, polite and charismatic young man
who shows great potential to become very successful.
He is an asset to the form and a joy to teach.
April 2014:
Amretjeet Singh
(year 8)
Amretjeet has a condition called
Hereditary Multiple Exotosis which
is a lifelong condition where he
has abnormal bone growths. He has
regularly has to endure painful surgery since starting
at Cranford and is due a further operation in February
2014. He is such a cheerful character who always
just accepts his disability and the limitations that it
imposes upon him. He has been unable to do PE since
starting at Cranford and this has been difficult for him
as he is such a lively person and all he wants to do
is play football. Ms Tutt plays table tennis with him
when the doctor allows it. He has to be escorted around
the school with a TA all day yet he always takes what
life throws at him with good grace and a ‘no point
complaining about it’ attitude. He really is quite an
inspirational young man.
October 2013:
Imran Noorabdul
(year 12)
Imran has taken a genuine leadership
role within the school supporting
the whole initiative of making the
school an engaging and entertaining
place to be from 8am. With one
other student, he helped to organise
and manage the Cranford Street Festival and now has
taken responsibility for continuing to coordinate an
entertainment programme for staff and students. He
has shown himself to be responsible, reliable and
committed, arriving early every day and compeering as
well as setting up and putting away all the equipment.
Additionally, what has been really impressive is the
positive attitude Imran always maintains and the care
and support he has offered to those involved, bolstering
the confidence of younger performers and ensuring
that their efforts are genuinely appreciated. Through
his hard work the school has been a happier place to
be over the last month which we hope will also have a
direct impact on punctuality and consequently student
attainment.
June 2014:
Jaspriya Lall
(year 11)
Jaspriya continues to go above
and beyond with extra-curricular
activities which benefit others in
her year group as well as the wider
school community. Jaspriya has
helped the year 11 Ambassadors
with her great technical ability with filming. She helps
the High Achievers group and has planned and run the
writer of the future initiative to inspire young students
to write. She is also part of the Young Fellows where she
has planned and organised university trips alongside
members of staff and helps with the Philosophy and
Theology book club when she can.
