• Canbury School is personal, attentive and determined to help students grow in confidence as well as achievement. The school is personal, attentive and low ego.

• A strong possibility for families who feel their child would do better in a genuinely small senior school where adults can keep close track of both progress and wellbeing. This will appeal to families who want a smaller, more human-scale alternative to a large senior school.

Canbury School's admissions process is personal, visit driven and refreshingly explicit that seeing the school is an essential part of deciding. At this scale, a visit and direct conversation with leaders are likely to matter as much as any paperwork.

Bursaries exist, but the bigger public story is the school’s small size and willingness to support pupils with additional needs. The main question is whether the school’s scale and attention translate into a better day-to-day experience.

• Support is available for applicants and for current families whose circumstances change.
• The official page says bursaries are available up to 30% of tuition fees.
• All bursary applications are subject to annual means testing and may be varied up or down on review.

Canbury’s tiny scale means that official reporting matters, but the lived reality of class size, SEND support and staff relationships will matter just as much. The overall picture needs to be read with care because small schools can feel very different in practice from how they look on paper.
