Visit Us

The first step to joining the Canford community is to visit the school, either on an Open Morning or for a private visit. Both these provide the opportunity to get a feel for the school and its full boarding experience.

Open Morning
Open Mornings are a useful introduction to the school and offer the chance to meet the Headmaster and senior teaching staff, tour the school and visit academic and co-curricular departments. Each family will be offered a personal guided tour with a pupil. Our Open Mornings are a chance to see the school on a working day, for families interested in entry at Year 9 and Year 10 (13+/14+) and Sixth Form entry (16+).
Our next Open Morning is on Saturday 24th April 2027.
Canford is a very special place, we look forward to welcoming you!
