Brochure advertising all the Allied Schools. Text in English, French, German and Italian. Probably produced mid 60s judging by postcode + telephone codes

Colour A4 folded sheet giving brief summaries of all seven remaining Allied Schools. Felixstowe (closed 1994) is mentioned. Several mentions of events in 1970s and one of 1980, so probably published soon after that.

Several letters connected with the £30,000 bequest left to the school by the Rev HJL Jerram, a former Head of School in the 1920s. Some focus on the desire of his family to have a memorial at the school which wasn't possible.

A large number of letters to and from the HM (Hardie) together with other related material concerned with setting up a a memorial to Canford's second HM. Some letters concern the clash between this appeal and a more general one that was planned. There is also discussion about a Closed Scholarship at Christ's College, Cambridge (with an admission that these are becoming less popular with colleges)

Letters and documents connected to the 1963 Appeal. Includes: 1961 proposal for campaign Canford School Ltd accounts for 1961 Letters (1962-3) to and from Lord Wimborne being asked and refusing to sign a statement in the brochure Early dummy brochure Letters to and from various people re appeal. A few are asking others for advice (eg HM Sevenoaks) and several comment no the apparent lack of enthusiasm amongst OCs for the appeal. One is from Macnutt (former HM). Two are from governors who are clearly annoyed that they are expected to contribute set amounts. One from the secretary of the OC Society shows some friction as to who should be running the appeal. See also BX70-04

Letter from Gerald Deakin explaining why he wouldn't be contributing to the appeal. He clearly adored his HM (Canning) and Hsm (Kittermaster) and didn't like the changes Hardie made to Canford as HM. There are also letters from Enid Canning and Yvone Kirkpatrick after they had seen the letter adding their point of view. Essentially he claimed that Canford used to be a welcoming club but had become much more exam focused.

Correspondence between the HM (Wallace) and various managers at Plessey. Topics include apprenticeships, closed scholarships, visits to Plessey, providing equipment, talks at Canford.

Two sets of correspondence between HM (Lever) and others relating to poor behaviour; one concerning hockey, the other cricket

Copy of document committing Canford to a ceiling of 50% for entrance scholarships unless means tested. As Chairman of HMC, Canford's HM (Marriott) had campaigned for all schools to agree the 50% limit. Nearly all schools agreed, although there were notable exceptions (such as Radley) who felt the scheme was unworkable. A large amount of paperwork was originally held in the Canford archive, but it has since been donated to the HMC archive.

Letters between John Lever and HM of Sherborne who wanted to know whether there was a difference between girls' and boys academic achievements. Lever's reply suggests a minor one at GCSE nd nothing later on.

Correspondence between Ian Wallace (HM) and Oliver van Oss (HM Charterhouse) about the latter giving an inspirational talk to Canford staff at the start of term

Enhanced disclosure from the Criminal Records Bureau for Richard Baxter as Chairman of Governors. This was a legal requirement.
