"A wonderful school community"

We've been at Sanders Draper for 6 years and I couldn't be happier with the education our children have received. The values of Resilience, Achievement and Family really shine through in the way the staff support the students. I love that the school is small and everyone knows each other.

"Some mixed feelings"

We've had a mixed experience at Sanders Draper. The staff are generally friendly and supportive, but there have been some issues with discipline and communication. The facilities are great, but I feel that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about what's going on.
