With mixed-age teaching, high pupil mobility and more recently, an increasing number of pupils with complex Additional Learning Needs (ALN), Sandycroft faces a share of challenges. Despite this, Sandycroft has built a reputation for being a high-achieving, welcoming school with strong learner outcomes.
