The Curriculum
Sandroyd’s primary aim in the classroom is to ignite a passion for learning in its pupils. The carefully designed curriculum prepares students for Common Entrance and scholarship examinations.
Games & The Arts
A significant amount of time is dedicated to sports as well as performing and creative arts. By participating in teams, bands, theatre productions, or sports teams, children continuously develop social and emotional intelligence, sharing the joys of success and learning from failures together.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is one of Sandroyd’s great strengths. Each child has a personal tutor responsible for monitoring academic progress, ensuring productive use of out-of-class hours, and being a first point of contact when life doesn’t go according to plan.
Recent Scholarships
Over the past five years, 40 percent of leavers who have gone on to public schools have earned scholarship awards.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
At Sandroyd, we strive to create a learning environment where happiness and inclusivity are paramount. We offer a broad curriculum that allows every pupil to flourish as an individual. Our collaborative teaching and support staff are dedicated to providing an education that prepares our pupils in a nurturing yet ambitious setting, guiding each child to achieve their full potential. This culture is integral to our pupils’ success and is ingrained in everything we do.
Outstanding Characteristics
Sandroyd is set in over 500 acres of parkland on the Wiltshire/Dorset border. While academic results are crucial, staff believe that character development extends beyond the classroom. Hence, the school dedicates significant time to sports, performing, and creative arts. Pupils are nurtured to be ambitious and strive in all they do, embodying the school’s motto, ‘Niti est Nitere’ (‘To strive is to shine’).
