Mrs A. Dhillon (Headteacher)

At Sandfield Close Primary School, we believe that children should be prepared not only academically, but also for their role as global citizens in the wider world.

By providing access to a broad curriculum, along with a range of experiences, we aim to provide children with the knowledge and skills needed in order for them to succeed in terms of both their education and adult life.

The British Values are embedded within our curriculum so that children are taught to understand different ways of life and are made aware of the importance of tolerance and respect towards one another.

Our school rules focus upon encouraging children to uphold the values which we believe to be important.

These are:

• We are Responsible
• We are Respectful
• We are Resilient
• We are Resourceful
