"Pupils and students in the sixth form are proud of their school. They told inspectors that they are happy and that they can be themselves. They said that everyone is accepted and welcomed" - OFSTED report Dec 22 The Small Things Matter Standards of uniform, behaviour, attendance, punctuality and attitudes to learning are high here. We believe that the small things matter. Students are safe here in the knowledge about the clear expectations around these standards as they see visible consistency in the application of them. Our parents/carers know that we ensure that the very best potential is realised for all of our students because we have the highest standards. We are here to ensure that the very best life chances are achieved by our students. We have a track record of students attending the very best universities, securing sought after Apprenticeships and making a real difference in our community and further afield. Sandbach High School and Sixth Form College has a rich culture of the Arts, STEM, Sport and our impressive extended Curriculum. We know that a well- rounded school experience should be diverse and offer a wealth of opportunity and that is offered here in abundance.

Our success as a school is a combined effort of dedicated staff, supportive families and our hardworking students. If you would like to know more, we would welcome you to contact us.
