Welcome to Our Website here at CANTO Learning
It is my privilege and honour to be the Head at CANTO Learning and over the years I have been delighted to lead such a diverse and ever evolving provision.
Working alongside me is a fantastic team, committed to providing an environment which is most importantly safe but also a place where students want to attend and are given the opportunity to develop skills that equip them for lives. Our tag line of ‘Helping you reach your potential’ ensures we recognise all our students as individuals and therefore they have different skills and abilities making their planned outcomes unique to them.
Our education provision, named iCan and our adult social care provision named Turing both recognise that our students are all on a life-long learning plan and therefore we work closely with parents, carers and other professionals to provide a safe learning environment that enables our students to develop their skills. We also work hard to develop relationships with those in our immediate community and often welcome them into our on-site coffee shop that is open to the public.
As a charity we have a valuable board of trustees who oversee all our work and ensure that we keep focussed on our mission statement.
If you are interested in our college in any capacity we would invite you to telephone into reception to arrange a visit on 01604 741150.
We hope you enjoy visiting our new website, information will be added and updated here in the coming weeks. Thank you.

This report saw CANTO achieve a grade of good in all areas of the inspection frame work, this followed on from an Ofsted good grade in our previous inspection in 2016.
