Now is the perfect time to come and attend one of our open mornings in either Spring or Autumn.

Book for Open Morning

If you have attended one of our Open Mornings but would like to explore some aspects of Canford in more detail before registering your child you can book a private visit.

BOOK A PRIVATE VISIT

A registration by the end of July in Year 5 will allow your child to be invited to our fun, non-assessed Explore Day held at the end of September in Year 6. It will also allow them to be included in our Year 6 pre-assessment process which is our first round of pre-assessments.

REGISTER YOUR CHILD

If you haven't visited Canford yet or would like to explore further then please book to attend one of our Open Mornings or alternatively a private visit. However it is possible to register your child without visiting.

VISIT CANFORD

Those children who were registered by the end of July in Year 5 will be invited to attend our Explore Day in September of Year 6. This is a fun non-assessed day for your child to explore all Canford has to offer.
