 We wanted to email to say how grateful we are to Sandhurst School for making the transition from Primary School a smooth process.

We also wanted to say how great it has been to see my daughter get stuck in to the new school way of life. She’s hit the ground running and gaining her house points have really boosted her.

She is thriving off the recognition and in her own words she has said that she “has been trying really hard”. 

  All the extra transition support my daughter has received has been fantastic, and she seems less anxious about the change that’s coming soon!!  

She can’t wait to start now, and I feel much more at ease that she has the Senco support in place for her if things are tough for her going forward.  

I am so happy that we chose Sandhurst School.
