School Information

Thank you for taking the time to visit the developing Sandy Upper School website. We are an improving school as demonstrated by the:

• Examination results at GCSE
• Changes to the curriculum
• Changes to the school buildings

I am proud of the staff and students at Sandy Upper School and the positive relationships that exist between them, enabling good learning to occur.

We believe that a successful school is built on a partnership between individual students, parents, staff and the local community. We aim to work together to create a positive learning environment in which all students can achieve. We are encouraging and supportive towards all of our students and in return we require high standards of work, conduct and appearance.

We recognise that moving to upper school is a big step in a child’s life. We help all our new students to settle into Sandy Upper School quickly and happily and aim to develop a productive balance between work and extra-curricular activities.

Expectations are high. Most students progress into our sixth-form and, each year, our sixth-form students leave Sandy Upper School well equipped to make a success of degree courses at university or employment.

Please contact me if you would like to visit during the school day and talk with students and staff.

You will be made very welcome.

Mr David Stevinson
Headteacher
