    My time at The Sandon School was really valuable, especially being part of the Tech Club. Working on sound and lighting for school productions taught me a lot about the technical side as well as how to be a good team player. The staff were always helpful, and I really enjoyed getting to learn by doing. 

    The chances I had at The Sandon School have really shaped my career. The things I learned there, such as problem-solving, time management, and working well under pressure, are things I use all the time in my studies and work. I'm really thankful for the strong start Sandon gave me, both with schoolwork and as a person.

    At Sandon Sixth Form, I have had the opportunity to be part of many initiatives, such as to reading mentor programs, representing my school on open evenings and even to be head student for student voice. This has prepared me for UCAS and creating a CV.

    Mr M. Johnson
    Sandon has been a fantastic place to work since I joined in 2022 as a Learning Support Assistant. Now, as a PE Teacher Trainee at Sandon, I have received incredible support, guidance and encouragement from both staff and students.  The Schools motto, 'Aiming Higher Together,' is truly reflected in the school's environment, with students consistently supporting each other to succeed. Sandon also offers a wealth of opportunities for students to engage in activities they love, fostering both personal and academic growth. During my training year, Sandon's modern sports facilities have been invaluable in ensuring that all students receive high-quality PE lessons. I feel privileged to be part of such a supportive and inspiring school community.
