THE CANFORD centenary

The coming year will be particularly special for Canford and there’s a lot of work going on behind the scenes as we prepare to celebrate our 100th birthday.

Centenary Foundation Service

On Friday 28th April at 10am, the Canford Community will gather at Salisbury Cathedral for the Centenary Foundation Service led by Rev Phil Jack and the School’s combined choirs. Rev James Dudley-Smith will be preaching and a specially commissioned piece for the centenary by OC Howard Moody B82 will be performed by the choir. All members of the Canford Community are invited to join us. This is a ticketed event with no charge. Entry without ticket will not be permitted. Please book your ticket(s) via our book events page https://www.Canford.Com/school-community/book-events

Centenary Proms in the Park Garden Party

Join us for our big celebration at Canford on Sunday 25th June.

Everyone in the Canford Community is invited to the Proms in the Park Garden Party. Bring your picnic, enjoy food stalls, informal school tours and lawn games culminating in a fantastic music concert featuring Canfordians and hopefully a few OC musicians. We aim to provide areas for you to picnic on Mountjoy by decades so that you will be sitting close to your Canford contemporaries with Canford Manor as our backdrop. We very much hope you will be able to join us. This is a ticketed event with no charge. Entry without ticket will not be permitted. Please book your ticket(s) via our book events page https://www.Canford.Com/school-community/book-events OC London Drinks Our OC London Drinks party will take place in the autumn of 2023, date and venue to be confirmed but we very much hope that many of you will be able to join us.

The Archive

As part of the centenary, the School Archive website is undergoing a revamp to enable OCs to search and find information about past years at Canford more easily. More information will follow in due course.

Our thanks is extended to the Old Canfordian Society for their help in supporting many of our centenary events.
