Sancton Wood School
ancton Wood is a small, independent, co-educational school in the heart of Cambridge. It caters for pupils aged nine months to 16 years and the school’s firm belief is a happy child is a learning child. Its innovative, creative curriculum, combined with exceptional pastoral care, allows each child to thrive. A non-selective school, its nurturing approach delivers academic excellence including impressive GCSE results. Students are expected to get a 1.5-2 GCSE grade increase based on their predictions at entry. Class sizes offer an excellent teacher- to-pupil ratio. Staff spend time with each child, allowing them to understand how they are motivated, the best pace for their learning and which approach suits their talents and personality. By identifying each child’s strengths to nurture – and challenges to overcome – at an early stage, the school delivers on its philosophy of offering a tailored educational journey.
I remain adamant in my belief that a happy child who feels safe and secure will achieve their full potential. In choosing to send your child to us, they will experience school days driven by kindness and a joy of learning.
