New Sixth Form College

Canford Sixth Form College Hub

 

The College

The College building is on three sides of a courtyard close to the main Manor House and all the main teaching areas, theatre, library, music school and sports centre. The Hub building is for the whole Sixth Form, and is where you will find the Careers and Future Life Centre, Wellbeing Centre, study spaces and social areas. It's also the building where Upper Sixth day pupils have their designated study spaces.  Two further wings complete the U shape and provide separate Upper Sixth ensuite boarding accommodation for boys and girls.  This state-of-the-art Sixth Form building will open in the following phases:

Opened March 2025 -  College Hub facilities open for all current Lower and Upper Sixth pupils.

September 2025 - The College Hub becomes the base for Upper Sixth day pupils. Upper Sixth boarders continue to live in the vertical house system whilst accessing all College Hub facilities freely.

September 2026 - College Residences open for Upper Sixth boarders.

The College - Four Core Elements

College Academics

A Level Curriculum taught by exceptional teachers at the forefront of academic excellence.

College Experiences

Opportunities to lead, explore your talents and be yourself in a warm and supportive community.

College Life

A community and culture to help you thrive. Wellbeing, Welfare and Support for Learning.

College Futures

Leading Higher Education and Careers provision to empower you in making your dreams a reality.

The Sixth Form at Canford is critical as we prepare our pupils to make the transition from school to life beyond.   Expectations and the personal development needs of 17-18 year olds preparing for a competitive world are very different to those of younger pupils, and the new College structure will allow for stage-specific guidance, appropriate expectations and demands.  Ben vessey
