Sancton Wood is a co-educational, independent school in the heart of Cambridge. Spread across three sites, all within walking distance of each other, the railway station and the city centre itself. We provide an outstanding learning journey for students aged 9 months to 16 years.
We believe that exceptional pastoral care; those values of nurture, kindness, patience and love make for happy children; place those children in small classes with outstanding teachers and the results will be remarkable.
Our foundation of outstanding pastoral care leads to incredible academic success, as is proven year after year with our GCSE results. 95%-100% of our latest cohorts achieved 5 or more 4-9 grades and half of all our grades were at the top level.
Wrapping around this is a thriving Enrichment programme with over 100 separate opportunities for students to supplement their classroom experience with offerings in Languages, The Arts, STEM, Humanities and beyond.
We have a busy programme of trips, the school takes sport very seriously and we offer a full range of fixtures, clubs and sports tours for the students.
