We are delighted to share that you can now explore our stunning new Sixth Form building from the comfort of your own home through an interactive 360° virtual tour.
Thanks to cutting-edge Matterport 3D imaging technology, you can step inside and discover the bright, modern spaces designed to support independent learning, collaboration, and wellbeing. The College building sits on three sides of a courtyard close to the Manor House and all the main teaching areas, theatre, library, music school and sports centre. At its heart is The Hub, a dedicated space for the whole Sixth Form, home to the Careers and Future Life Centre, Wellbeing Centre, study areas and social spaces. Upper Sixth day pupils also benefit from their own designated study spaces here.
Two further wings complete the U-shaped design, providing separate Upper Sixth ensuite boarding accommodation for boys and girls, which will be available from September 2026.
We are incredibly grateful to OC Pete Gillett SH70 for enabling this project to happen, ensuring that the wider Canford community can experience the new building wherever they are in the world.
