Welcome to The Sanders Draper School
This website will give you the flavour of our foundation school and we hope you like it. However, seeing for yourself is best so please pay us a visit and see the school in action.
This is a friendly school, with high expectations. We emphasise the traditional values of hard work, respect for others, good manners, punctuality and being smartly dressed. We believe that school should be enjoyable, with good humour and fair play being a major part of sound discipline and positive staff-student relationships.
Children are at school for only a few years. We aim to fill that time with the best possible experiences, and the skills needed to make the most of adult life.

We look to parents and carers to support us, in a partnership where both sides play a full part, committed to success in all aspects of school life – academic, sporting and social. We aim to produce confident young people, who have experienced responsibility and are willing to use their initiative.
