About Hanford School, Dorset, England

Hanford is, in the words of parents, a ‘gem’. Nestling at the foot of Hambledon Hill in Dorset, it is a place where children are free to enjoy their childhood, can begin to develop lifelong passions and interests and are prepared for life at senior school and beyond. When you catch your first sight of the beautiful Jacobean house, the ponies in the fields or the girls playing happily on the lawn, you immediately get a sense of what a very special place it is.

Mrs. Canning, who founded the school with her husband in the 1940s, always wanted Hanford to work just like a family, encouraging freedom of thought, individual development and mutual respect and trust. These principles have been upheld ever since: we want all the children to feel at home here, with the freedom to roam around the grounds in their free time.
