Canford School entrance guide

An award winning boarding school with a Christian ethos, Canford is situated in Dorset, amongst extensive grounds. A relatively new independent school, having been founded in 1923, Canford educates over 600 students co-educationally at Senior level (13-18), most of whom join via the 13 plus. External Sixth Form students can sit for the 16 plus and a few students are admitted each year to Year 10, via the 14 plus.

Having only just celebrated it’s centenary, Canford has already established an impressive list of alumni, including author Tom Holland, film maker Derek Jarman and presenter Ore Oduba.

Gil is an extremely organised and engaging tutor who makes maths learning fun. My son always enjoys his sessions with Gil.
Amy was an amazing tutor to my two boys while we were based in London. I have just received feedback from my son’s school teacher that the work Amy taught him while we were away had extended him beyond the curriculum and she was super impressed with what he had learned! Lovely person, we are thankful to her. Highly recommend.
My daughter was very close to her Science GCSEs and had asked us to arrange a couple of months tuition for her to increase her confidence and help her to increase her grades by a point or two. I was delighted and relieved by how quickly I was put in touch with John and how quickly we were able to schedule sessions. I shared her mock papers with him and he was able to pinpoint where to target his sessions providing her with relevant practice questions in the interim. She came out of Chemistry saying it was the best exam of her life ! Thanks John for delivering exactly what we needed. Will not hesitate to reach out to Owl in the future.
Joseph’s confidence has grown exponentially thanks to Julian’s help.
Nicola is an excellent tutor! Every lesson is well prepared and delivered to the high standards. Not a single minute is wasted. Our son's results and confidence in English improved within a very short time of tutoring with Nicola. She is the G.O.A.T (in our son's best football comments)
