Cannons Creek Independent School, situated in Pinelands, Cape Town, South Africa, was founded in January 1997 by Mrs Carol Barhouch (now Booth) together with four teachers, Mrs Hazelmay Duncan, Mr Kevin Wroth, Ms Nicola du Plooy and Ms Lesley Jacobson, as a primary co-educational English-speaking Christian school.

Cannons Creek Primary and High Schools were housed in two buildings located alongside each other in Nursery Way, Pinelands with an adjacent sports field.

In 2018 Cannons Creek again received the Premier's Award for placing third in the Western Province for smaller schools.

In 2016 Cannons received a special award from the University of Pretoria for being in the top 30 achieving schools for mathematics in the country.

Based on the Matric Class of 2020's results, Cannons Creek was announced as the 'Top Small School in the Western Cape' (less than 30 candidates).

The history of the high school's sport scene is filled with well-qualified sport players, with people from hockey, equestrian club, cross country, ladies' golf, body boarding and ice hockey reaching the Western Province trials level.

Farouk Mayman, a past pupil of Cannons Creek, represented South Africa for Waterpolo at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

The aim of Adventure Week (a compulsory event) is for the students to experience nature, be out of their comfort zones, learn life skills, and, most importantly, bond with their schoolmates.
