Class of 2029!

Welcome class of 2029! You will join STA at an exciting time, full of opportunities. At STA you will be known and loved as an individual. Our pastoral system will support you through your time with us and give you the skills for a successful and fulfilling life.

Tutor groups

Everyone who joins STA is placed in a tutor group.  Each group has a form tutor who you will see twice a day.  During tutor times, you will explore current news topics, reflect on significant events, have the opportunity to engage in worship and much more. You will get to know your form tutor really well, they will be someone who will always be there to help you, whatever you need.

Houses 

At St Andrew's every student is also part of a house.  Our houses and their associated charities are:

Please note these are your charities for this year, our student leadership team for social justice is currently reviewing these.

Collective Worship

As a Church of England school, we are proud of our loving Christian ethos and we warmly welcome students from all faiths and none. At STA, every child has a place and is loved and nurtured to achieve their God-given potential. 

As a church school, we believe in taking some time each day to reflect and/or pray.  These opportunities will be available to all students during daily tutor times and weekly assemblies.  

Our collective worship is invitational, inclusive and strives to be inspirational.
