Canbury School
Canbury School is a small, independent day school in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London with a maximum of 75 pupils on roll. History Canbury School was founded by John Wyatt in 1982. He had previously taught in several large schools with high academic standards and had come to believe that such standards could be applied to children with a broader range of ability. A smaller school would allow children to be more involved in their progress and in the community and to be more motivated and happier. In 1997, Wyatt retired and the school became an educational charity administered by a Board of Governors, thus assuming its long-term stability. Cedric Harben was appointed Headmaster. Further developments took place and, following a rigorous inspection, the school gained full accreditation from the Independent Schools Council and joined the Independent Schools Association. The school building was once a domestic residence owned by Malcolm Campbell. His son Donald was born there in 1921. Facilities The school is on Kingston Hill at the corner of Warboys Approach. It has a new science laboratory and prep room, an art studio equipped with a pottery area and kiln, and access to local facilities for a wide range
