Fantastic school great for all children of any ability and needs. Highly recommend to all new parents looking for a school that will put your children’s needs first. Our eldest 2 daughters are very happy at Sandford School and our little 2 daughters can’t wait to join them.

Fantastic school. All 4 of my children were very happy there. Kind & experienced staff, good parent community (Friends of Sandford School) and great links with lthe ocal community. My children were all supported & all built strong friendships which still exist even as they are leaving higher education. I think the links with Sandford Playgroup also helped with this. My eldest did well in her A levels at QE school in Crediton last year and my youngest only left Sandford School in September so I can honestly say my positive review applies to the last 14 years! It is in a lovely village setting. I'd recommend to any parent whether children are joining at Reception or year 6.
