Canbury School

Canbury – a HUGE adventure! Canbury School is a School like no other of which I am immensely proud. We celebrate student differences everyday – wouldn’t life be boring if we were all the same? One of the best things about Canbury is that we celebrate all success whether it be for academic, effort, sporting, kindness or service for others throughout the year. We build self-esteem and confidence in all of our students. We see past the limitations placed by others on students with SEND and do not allow any need or disability to be a barrier to the students’ success. If a student says to me “I can’t . . .” my answer always is “Why not?” Because we believe in them and are committed to them, they leave us as the best version of themselves, ready and able to embrace everything life throws at them. Our students are at the centre of every decision we make. As a completely mainstream independent school, we have established a reputation for delivering first class education to students of all academic abilities especially students with SEND. We offer a varied and balanced curriculum which allows students to achieve their personal bests in a stimulating, supportive and caring atmosphere. In addition to the excellent teaching and learning with in-class support, students use our dedicated learning areas for specific one-to-one support or in small groups, with either a designated Learning Support Assistant or with specialist therapists. Canbury School provides interventions in-house such as Speech and Language Therapy and Social Communication Groups, a ASD Consultant Behaviour Analyst, Specialist Mathematics and Literacy teachers and Occupational Therapy. The vast majority of our students continue their education at Sixth Form, either at Canbury School or alternative Sixth Forms. A significant number go on to University.
