St. Andrew’s School has a non-selective academic entry. Priority for places is given to pupils who already have brothers or sisters at the School and who attend the St. Andrew’s Pre-School.

The School has a very happy, family atmosphere that can be attributed to the sensitive and sensible way in which the staff teach and care for the children. Their enthusiasm for the children to have high aspirations and to be successful creates a stimulating environment that is conducive to learning. The School is proud of its traditional style of teaching and learning with an emphasis on class teaching and the development of thinking skills.

The discipline in the School is based on mutual respect amongst pupils, peers and teachers. The children have clearly defined parameters of behaviour and are taught to show respect to all with whom they come into contact.

The School recognises that its success is based on a three-way partnership including the parents, the School and each child all working together to bring out the best in each individual child.

The School’s aim is to develop well-rounded, enthusiastic learners who will make a strong contribution to their senior schools both as good citizens and as pupils who are prepared to work hard in order to achieve success. The measure of the curriculum at St. Andrew’s should be that which the children take with them and continue to develop throughout their school careers and future lives.
