Participation, hard work and a strong sense of community, teamwork and integrity are hallmarks at Canford. Beyond the classroom, there is a diverse range of intellectual, artistic, cultural and sporting activities on offerfor all abilities and pupils are encouraged to make connections between all aspects of their learning.

In the arts, pupils won places on prestigious Art courses at Kingston, a choral scholarship to Magdalen College, Oxford and places in the National Youth Theatre this year. Facilities at Canford are excellent and include a state of the art sports complex, modern theatre, separate music school and art gallery. The campus environment gives Canford a collegiate feel, while the beauty of the Grade 1 listed buildings and 250 acres of parkland provide an inspirational educational setting.
