Boarding School of the Year and Highly Commended Co-educational School of the Year 2018 - Independent School Parent

It is such a privilege for a child to be educated at Canford. The school has managed to instil a sense of appreciating that privilege without the arrogance that can accompany a private education at some other top boarding schools.
