We believe that exceptional pastoral care makes for happy children, and a happy child is a learning child. Place those children in small classes with outstanding teachers and wrap around a thriving enrichment programme, and the outcome will be remarkable. This is proven year after year with our academic results.

Strong inspection outcomes across Nursery, Prep and Senior School

Our latest inspections highlight the high quality of education and care across Sancton Wood School. Inspectors found a purposeful, happy atmosphere, strong pastoral relationships, and pupils who thrive both academically and personally.

Under the new inspection framework, schools are no longer graded. Instead, they are assessed on whether they meet key standards. We are delighted that Sancton Wood met the standard in every area inspected, including:

• Leadership, management and governance
• Quality of education, training and recreation
• Pupils’ physical and mental health and wellbeing
• Pupils’ social and economic education
• Safeguarding

Our Nursery also met or exceeded expectations across all areas, including safeguarding, curriculum, achievement, wellbeing and leadership.

Inspectors also recognised that pupils make good progress throughout the school, with a recommendation to continue building on this success by ensuring consistently high levels of effectiveness in every lesson.
