Canford is ambitious for its pupils to explore, express and excel across academic and co-curricular life. Exam results are a leader among co-ed boarding schools and pupils aim high in all that they do both within and beyond the classroom. Nearly 40 scholarships each year at 13+ and 16+ and over 95% of Upper Sixth leavers move on to university, largely to Russell Group institutions. Among the top 10 most beautiful schools in the UK, (Daily Telegraph) it is an inspirational educational setting.

Canford supports learning through a whole-school approach, achieving excellent outcomes for all pupils. Teachers meet regularly to share good practice across departments. Our aim is for pupils to develop the skills they need to think and learn independently. We enable our pupils to develop strategies, gain confidence in their own learning and acquire the study skills that will help them to succeed at Canford and beyond.
