Reviews and Awards

Canford - South of England School of the Year 2025

We were honoured to be crowned the South of England School of the Year by Independent School Parent in October 2025.

The award covers counties across the South - Avon, Berkshire, Bristol, Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, East Sussex, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Surrey, West Sussex and Wiltshire. 

The judges asked schools to "share your pride in where you work in the South of the UK and explain why the students in your care enjoy an unparalleled student experience which is enhanced by the school’s location. Give us a sense of school life as it would appear to our judges if they were lucky enough to walk through your doors."

Congratulations to everyone across the Canford Community for this wonderful national recognition of the education we offer.
