Support Us
Our primary fundraising focus is to support the Martin Marriott Foundation to provide transformational bursaries to deserving pupils who would otherwise be unable to access all that a Canford education has to offer. Money raised via our fundraising wholly supports pupils coming to Canford on 100% fee support.
Put simply, bursaries change lives. We are providing the opportunity to add structure, substance and reality to the dreams and ambitions of young people whose life chances are likely to preclude this, whether that be due to general socio-economic factors or specific difficulties and hardship within the family or locality where they live. This is very much a partnership where pupils accessing a bursary benefit greatly and their presence within the Canford community adds breadth and richness to the educational and life experience of all within it.
