Canford School

Founded in 1923 in what had been the private house of Lord Wimborne, Canford School is a highly successful independent school with a strong commitment to education and skill development in the Bournemouth and Poole area.

The School sees academic matters as of primary importance, not only as a ladder to university and careers, but also as a source of pleasure and personal growth.

Canford School’s educational experience, partnered by opportunities available through Bournemouth & Poole College, would provide an excellent basis for the new Academy.
