We extend a warm welcome as you take a glimpse into the vibrant learning and fun that defines life at Sandon Primary Academy.

​

Excellence and fun are at the heart of everything we do, guided by our long-standing belief that “You have to learn to be happy before you are happy to learn.” This philosophy underscores the importance of offering a broad and rich range of learning opportunities across the curriculum. Carefully planned and expertly delivered lessons across all subject areas enable pupils to achieve in many different ways. Our pupils excel and showcase their individual interests and talents because they are happy to learn and, in turn, become fully immersed in their learning and enrichment activities.

​

Since 2008, when the school faced significant challenges, we have made tremendous strides. Thoughtful, targeted actions and a relentless commitment to improving both the school’s fabric and the learning environment have led to continuous year-on-year improvements. This progress is a testament to our dedication to providing the best possible experience for each child.

​

The support and engagement of our community have been invaluable in this journey. Our strong partnership with parents is vital, as we work together to ensure that nothing but the very best is good enough for every child.

Our swimming pool exemplifies our commitment to equipping pupils with lifelong skills that foster confidence and resilience. We take immense pride in our facilities and their role in delivering an exceptional and enjoyable learning experience. In 2023, we were honoured to receive the highest number of Reception applications across Stoke-on-Trent—a testament to the trust and recognition from our community.

​

As I enter my 17th year as Headteacher, I remain dedicated to enhancing our wide curriculum with enriching opportunities, personalising the development of each child, and continuing our close collaboration with the community. Together, we strive to foster pride in both our school and our area, ensuring that Sandon Primary Academy remains a place of excellence and joy.
