Canford is ambitious for its pupils to explore, express and excel across academic and co-curricular life. Exam results are a leader among co-ed boarding schools and pupils aim high in all that they do both within and beyond the classroom. Nearly 40 scholarships each year at 13+ and 16+ and over 95% of Upper Sixth leavers move on to university, largely to Russell Group institutions. Among the top 10 most beautiful schools in the UK, (Daily Telegraph) it is an inspirational educational setting.
