We are proud of our high level of performance in public examinations. However, our curriculum goes well beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum in terms of the experience we provide for all our students. Teaching programmes are planned to create variety and interest in order to stretch all students whatever their talents and abilities. It is important that they learn to be independant, to think for themselves and have the necessary ambition and skills to aim high and make the most of their time at The Sandon School. We aim to develop qualities of self-reliance and confidence in our students, but equally an understanding, care and tolerance of others.
Every student is looked after as an individual.
This teacher will be a key figure, liasing with subject teachers and offering daily continuity to students. The Form Tutor works within our Student Services Team and is supported by Heads of Year and Directors of Key Stages. In this way we are able to monitor successfully each student's progress within and between subjects. This team, working with Curriculum Team Leaders and Subject Teachers, offers encouragement and helps solve problems. They maintain the vital links with parents and with other agencies which offer support to our students.
