Cranford Community College

Term dates

This school sets its own term dates, which are different from Hounslow council's. See the school's own term dates.

Admissions

Places for Year 7 are applied for through your home council, not the school.

Apply for a secondary school place on GOV.UK

How places are given: there's no entrance test. When there are more applicants than places, places usually go by criteria such as siblings, distance or catchment area. Check the council's or school's admissions policy for the exact rules.

For the sixth form, apply to the school directly.

How many families applied: Year 7

For September 2026, 223 families put this school as their first choice, and 202 places were offered. 176 of the families who put it first got a place (79%). More families put it first than there were places.
