Sandon JMI is a small school. We are linked with Knights Templar School, in Baldock; and are part of the North Hertfordshire Sports Partnership Scheme. We have a team of dedicated staff, delightful pupils and supportive parents. The idyllic setting, which is in the middle of the village, has well equipped play areas, garden and wildlife sections, with fields beyond.
We are a Forest School and these grounds provide the perfect setting for sessions. Everyone who visits the school agrees that it is a very special place. Sandon School is situated in the centre of Sandon, 10 minutes drive from Baldock, Buntingford and Royston. The school has 4 good sized classrooms as well as a central hall.
We have two classes - one class of EYFS and KS1 children and another of KS2 children.There are excellent IT facilities including laptops, interactive C-Touch whiteboards in every classroom, iPads, visualisers and coding robots. There is disabled access to all areas of the school.
