About the Event

Class of 1987 (those who left Upper Sixth in 1987), we invite you to return to Canford, have lunch in Long Gallery, catch up and reminisce!

After a buffet lunch, there will be the opportunity to have a tour of the school and to watch sports fixtures taking place at Canford.

Whether you have visited recently or it has been many years since your journey through the arch, we very much hope you will be able to join us.

We would be grateful if you could share this invitation with others from your year group, as it would be wonderful to welcome as many of you as possible.
