Welcome to CGS!
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Cricket Green School.
We were once described as “Like school. Only better!” and that's what we like to believe we offer to all our pupils and families.
Cricket Green is a thriving and outstanding special school, which offers learners the opportunity to grow and develop in an environment where they and their achievements are valued. Pupil well being is at the heart of all we do as we strive for all our learners to be happy, develop skills and competencies for life and grow in to secure and confident young people taking their place in society.
In 2010, 2013, 2017 and 2023 Ofsted judged us as an “Outstanding School”
praise doesn’t get any better than that but it hasn't stopped us striving to do better to continue to make Cricket Green a happy and outstandingly successful school. We surround ourselves with remarkable people and have amazing pupils!
OUTSTANDING 2010 - 2023 !!!
Headteacher: Celia Dawson, OBE
