Opened in 1955, The Sandon School is an 11-18 co-educational Comprehensive with around 1280 students. It is a true comprehensive school with a full range of abilities. With results consistently above the national average, it has an excellent reputation in the community and the school underwent an Ofsted Inspection in March 2018 which found it to be a good school.
The Sandon School is fortunate to have a well-qualified, motivated and experienced staff. Many of the staff are currently undergoing a variety of professional development activities focused on teaching and leadership in particular.
The school is a stand-alone academy, having achieved academy status in 2011, and has been successful in a number of capital bids. As a result, the site is both attractive and well equipped in all areas of the curriculum. The school is extremely well resourced in relation to ICT with all classrooms equipped with data projectors/interactive whiteboards and many with a wide range of specialist ICT facilities.
The school’s ATLAS Centre (Access to Learning at Sandon) is a hub of learning for the whole school and incorporates numerous computers as well as a well-stocked library.
Specialist sports facilities include a dedicated sports hall with an international standard specialist floor, a smaller sports hall, a dance studio and multi-gym, two flood lit 4G Astro Turf pitches, extensive playing fields and hard play areas and a well-equipped gymnasium.

For administrative and pastoral purposes, the school is organised into three divisions: Lower School (Years 7 and 8), Middle School (Years 9, 10 and 11) and Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13). Heads of School/Sixth Form are supported by Heads of Year and together are jointly responsible for monitoring students’ progress and ensuring the wellbeing of the students within the school to facilitate their learning. Students entering the school are placed in all-ability tutor groups and are set by ability early in Year 7 for English and maths. Setting for science takes place in Year 9.
