Sandycroft C.P School

We aim to provide up to date news, information and events the children have been involved with. You will be also able to find out what each class is currently involved in by visiting their department blogs. These will be updated regularly throughout the year.

Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision to make. As parents we all want a good education for our children but just as important is that they are happy and feel safe and secure. At Sandycroft CP School we feel we can offer all of those things. We pride ourselves on the wide, varied and full education we provide for all of our children. The high standards we set for teaching and learning are a credit to the hard work of staff, parents and pupils in a strong partnership. Equally we are also very proud of the warm family atmosphere of co-operation and support that exists in our school. Visitors often comment on the warm welcome they receive and the polite and positive attitudes of our pupils.

We welcome you and your child to Sandycroft Community Primary School and hope that they will be happy within our school family. Prospective parents are welcome to view school at any time they would like, please book an appointment with our school office. In addition to this, there are welcome evenings and various induction visits for Nursery and Reception parents before your child starts school with us. Information will be sent home closer to the time.

Sandycroft is a Community Primary school for children of ages 2 to 11 years. There are 7 Infant/Foundation Classes and 6 Junior/KS2 Classes. Sandycroft CP School also runs a separate setting for Flying Start and Nursery Plus in line with CIW standards. Our school was built in 1957 by Flintshire Education Authority to replace St Francis’ V P School.

After opening, the school population grew steadily and in 1967 an extension to house the Infant Department was opened. Over recent years the school has had extensive refurbishment. We have 12 spacious classrooms, 4 large activity areas, a large refurbished staff room, an Additional Needs room, cloakrooms, activity rooms, reading areas and ICT Suites. Foundation 1 (Early Years) pupils are in a self-contained room, which has recently been refurbished. They also have access to outdoor learning areas that are used throughout the year.

Our outside facilities comprise of separate Infant and Junior Playgrounds and 2 large playing fields. The grounds are enhanced by colourful flower-beds and ornamental trees providing an atmosphere of a park-land. We have ramped access to our Early Years, Infant and Junior departments. We also have an Environmental and Conservation Area, which is an ongoing development. It is an area that benefits all our pupils and provides habitats for wildlife. Our School Garden is also enhanced by the work of pupils, parents and staff who regularly plant, water and weed the borders.
