[edit] Overview

Hanford was founded by the Reverend and Mrs Clifford Canning in 1947. Their daughter Sarah Canning took over the school from them in 1959, and owned it until 2004 when she passed it over to the charitable trust which now runs it. This rare sense of family and continuity has shaped Hanford and made it the special place it is today.

A beautiful Jacobean house, surrounded by lawns and formal gardens, lies at the heart of Hanford. Flowers, fruit and vegetables for the school are grown in a large walled garden, and add to the feeling of living in a family house.
