Fifty Years of CO-EDUCATION
CO-EDUCATION
Celebrating Fifty Years of Co-education has included asking OCs for memories of their time at Canford. Some have been shared on social media in our #Fiftyfor50 campaign covering 50 weeks of memories which has generated a lot of interest. On 19th April we will be welcoming OCs to Canford for the OC Arts family day where they can take part in music, drama and art workshops as well as catching up with other OCs and enjoying the Canford grounds. Celebrations will conclude at the OC London Drinks Party to be held at Coq d’Argent on Thursday 11th June.
