Canbury School is a coeducational, independent, day, secondary school. It is non-denominational. It exists to provide education to a broad range of children, including some of various nationalities, who stand to benefit from being in a small school.
CANBURY SCHOOL is small, and deliberately so. With only a maximum of 65 pupils on roll, each is treated very much as an individual, hence our motto: “An individual approach to success”.
The benefits of being so small are numerous:
- Every child can be observed and have his or her individual skills drawn out;
- Problems in ‘learning’ can be identified and addressed early;
- Children develop self-confidence and make friends more easily;
- The work as well as the workload can be tailored to each pupil;
- Higher levels of participation are achieved in and out of class;
- Each child has a greater chance of experiencing a position of responsibility, such as being a prefect, house captain or member of the School Council;
- Teachers will have a deeper understanding of every pupil;
- Different teaching styles can be selected to suit the needs of each pupil.
Our aim is to create a genuine community in which no child is anonymous and in which each acquires the self-confidence that comes from being recognised and from achieving.
