Welcome

A very warm welcome to the Sanders Draper School and Science College, and thank you for your interest.  We hope this website will give you a flavour of our proud and vibrant learning community.  

Academic excellence, self discipline and self confidence form the basis of our philosophy. We blend traditional values of hard work, excellent behaviour and respect for others, with a passionate commitment to provide a caring, supportive environment within which every student can feel secure, valued and achieve success.

High expectations combine with a varied, engaging and relevant curriculum to ensure our students realise their potential and become creative thinkers, independent learners and are fully equipped to meet the ever-changing demands and opportunities of a rapidly developing 21st Century.

Learning is placed at the heart of all we do, and at Sanders Draper we have the drive and ambition to ensure your child will maximise their potential and achieve across a wide range of opportunities within the classroom and beyond. Parents and carers are our close partners in this process and their ongoing support makes success all the more likely.

We are incredibly proud of our young people - they have tremendous gifts, talents and potential and my dedicated and experienced staff gain tremendous satisfaction and pleasure in supporting them achieve.

Visitors to our school invariably comment on the warm, caring and purposeful environment and we would be delighted for you to experience our school in action.
