"Unsafe leadership."

Whilst there are some good staff there, unfortunately the school is let down by a leadership team who are terrible. They fail to deal with complaints, there is a serious drug problem with dealers out the front of the school and staff who lie and make things up. If you want your child to feel safe and valued avoid at all costs.

"Parent of child attending this school"

The schools punishments are very unreasonable ,people in prison have more rights than the students here.The staff are rude and dismissing of staff behaviour and my daughter comes home crying most of the time because of the way staff have treated her and fellow classmates and this brings lots of disappointment for me as a parent because I would like my child to enjoy her school life while it lasts however she is now moving schools to Garth hill collage because of this schools discipline and useless staff members.

"Great School, but a Few Hiccups"

I have mixed feelings about Sandhurst School. My child had a great experience here, but there were a few occasions when the communication from the school could have been better. That being said, the staff are wonderful, and the school's values are something to be proud of. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

"recommend "

sandhurst is a small secondary school compared to others in the area. it is quite an average to good school. the teachers are mostly kind and many are understanding of most problems. you are pushed in good ways and learn lots. i would recommend to go here, especially if you are shy as it isn’t as big of a school as the others nearby.
