canbury school limited
Canbury is a happy, purposeful place of personal discovery for students aged 11
to 18. The ethos of the School is that great minds do not all think alike and we
have established a reputation for delivering a first class, personalised
education to students of all academic abilities. Excellent progress is made here
because every young person is treated as an individual. Our recently opened
Sixth Form provides the opportunity for students to continue to benefit from
Canbury support in preparation for adult life and we are delighted to see them
go on to university or college. However, the journey is just as important as the
destination and so, from the outset, we focus on the whole child with emphasis
placed on emotional and social development as well as academic achievement. We
are committed to ensuring that our students are prepared for the future – able
to step forward to take their place in the world. In our last inspection, it was
noted that, “Pupils throughout the School persevere to solve problems supported
by teachers and learning support assistants who establish high expectations and
promote a ‘can do’ attitude”. As a relatively new school, founded in 1982,
Canbury is able to adopt a progressive approach to teaching and learning, taking
our cue from best practice and research. This ‘clean slate’ means that we are
not hidebound by tradition; rather, we are able to create the most meaningful
opportunities for our students, led by their strengths, needs and skills. We are
proud of our broad curriculum, the wide range of qualifications we offer and the
support we are able to provide through small group teaching and, where
appropriate, specialist therapists or learning support assistants. All of this
is delivered by dedicated and expert staff, underpinned by an exceptionally
strong pastoral approach that places the young person’s wellbeing front and
centre.
