The main aim of the school is to make each and every pupil aware of his or her innate qualities and skills, and to develop th ... ese to full capacity whilst creating joy in learning. We are a family-oriented school whose setting allows for the provision of an outstanding contribution to the social, emotional and academic development of each child. The unique environment allows for the early identification of not only strengths to be nurtured but areas pupils find challenging which can be addressed with personalised support. We have small class sizes across the school and this excellent pupil:teacher ratio is key to the educational philosophy that focuses on the provision of a tailored educational journey for each pupil. This foundation of outstanding pastoral care leads to incredible academic success, as is proven with their GCSE results year on year. Sancton Wood is named in the Sunday Times Top 100 which is a remarkable achievement for a non-selective, mixed ability school and is vindication of the school’s belief that by providing outstanding pastoral care, pupils will thrive and achieve great results. This year every single student achieved five or more GCSEs graded 4-9, 97% achieved these results including English, maths and science and 50% of these results were in the top 7, 8 and 9 grades with one student achieving 10 grade 9 GCSEs. With the world we’re living in changing at an ever-increasing rate, Sancton Wood strives to instil a passion for life-long learning in their pupils. This will help our children of today and shapers of the future, navigate a different structure of career. A love of learning and intellectual curiosity will be key to the learning and re-learning needed as they forge long-lasting, successful careers. Sancton Wood is part of Dukes Education. This extraordinary family of schools all share the same drive to “inspire, educate and support young people so they can be the very best versions of themselves.” read more
