Boarding School Overview
Canford is a co-educational school. We believe that working and living together fosters trust, encouragement and mutual respect - sound preparation for the challenges of life at university and the wider world. Academic excellence is our aim in all subjects. Our fine reputation for success in external examinations and university offers derives, we believe, from a culture of learning, intellectual stimulation and a coherence where pupils make connections between and across their learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. Every pupil meets with his/her tutor at least once a week, and often more frequently, providing 1-1 guidance and support from Shells through to Upper Sixth. The nature of the tutoring is tailored to suit the needs of each year group matching interests and personalities as closely as possible. With over 30 different sports and activities, and numerous clubs and societies, there is something to inspire every pupil. Personal fulfilment and the development of self-worth in the broadest sense are key educational aims.
