Stratford's Bard is Played on Sandfield's Boards

Pupils 'took to the boards' of Sandfield Parks stage to put on a special performance of Romeo and Juliet that merited a standing ovation from members of the audience who attended the performance.

The play, performed by year 9 pupils, ambitiously covered all the acts of the play with finer turns within the plot being guided by narration.

All pupils gave outstanding performances, however special mention must be given to one particularly talented young man Ian who performed the roles of Tybalt, Friar Lawrence and Rosaline all with equal aplomb.

Watch out Mr Rickman

Advanced Status in Quality in Study Support

Sandfield Park School achieved Advanced Status in Quality in Study Support (Qiss) in December 2009. We are extremely proud of the hard work and commitment of all the staff who give so much of their time to support our pupils and other students in the community.

Study support and out of school hours learning are activities that occur outside the normal school day such as lunchtime, after school or at weekends.

Being part of a team, gaining formal accreditation or scoring a goal for the football team for the first time, allows young people to enjoy achieve and develop a sense of personal value. The activities have included golf, football, athletics, team games, choir, horse riding residential, wheelchair basketball, Calvert Trust residential, WII Tournaments, Eco warriors, school council, Rotary Interact Club, Musical Theatre group, singing, drumming and Consumer Challenge and more.

At Sandfield Park being part of a school club or activity is only the first step of belonging to a study support activity. Once skills and interests have been developed it is envisaged that pupils will extend their skills in becoming involved in the local club or develop skills that can lead to involvement in activities off site. The school seeks to extend opportunity for pupils beyond school based activities so that pupils are involved in community activities and become life long learners.

Study support is accredited through the Children’s University. Each year pupils have the opportunity to graduate in a cap and gown at Liverpool’s graduation ceremony.
