We have a wonderful heritage at the school, and a proud tradition of producing independent, often pioneering, young women with the drive and confidence to make the most of opportunities and a difference in the world. That was the vision of the Founder, Frances Mary Buss, in 1850, and it remains true of the school today; we have enjoyed the accolade of being named the leading Independent Secondary School of the Year - twice in the last decade.

Examination success is only part of the picture... Art, Music, Drama, Dance, Sport, Community Service projects and over 30 clubs and societies create a vibrant atmosphere and help girls to flourish and enjoy their time at Canons. Every girl matters and the pastoral care at the school ensures pupils feel supported and valued throughout their time here.

North London is a unique school; if you wish to visit you can be sure of a warm reception whether you are a prospective parent or pupil, or a former student.
