Extra-curricular activities include dance, sports, karate, art and computer clubs. The majority of the teachers have qualifications from British Universities but there are a few who come from countries where English is the national language which means that the children experience a wide variety of accents and have first hand knowledge of these different cultures. At Canterbury we try to provide the correct atmosphere for the development of the necessary social and moral values for our pupils to become useful, positive and constructive members of our society. As children spend most of their day in school the atmosphere there is extremely important in the formation of their character and habits. Because of the enormous influence that the individual teacher has on the formation of children's attitudes our staff are highly qualified and dedicated members of the teaching profession.
Much attention is paid to each child as an individual.
Each class has its own tutor who is responsible for the social, emotional and academic development of the children in his or her care. Emphasis is placed on communication between parents and teachers to ensure steady progress and to correct potential problems before they develop into serious difficulties. Young people leave us at 18 with a positive, interested attitude towards learning in general and with skills and qualifications necessary for further study where they will train to accept posts of responsibility within our society.
