Sandy Hill Academy

Staff Welcome Video

A huge welcome from Mr Walker the Head of School at Sandy Hill Academy to the new Nursery and Reception children who will be joining Sandy Hill Academy in September.

All About Me boxes are a wonderful way for children to share who they are with their new classmates and teachers. Each box is filled with meaningful objects that represent their interests, families, hobbies, and the things that make them unique - anything from a favourite book or toy to a photo, a medal, or a special keepsake. These boxes help us celebrate individuality, build confidence, and create early connections as children learn about one another’s stories. Below, you’ll find two videos of Mrs Evans and Mrs Raikes sharing their own All About Me boxes, and we can’t wait to see what you choose to include in yours!

Our Early Years team is a warm, collaborative group with a wealth of expertise and experience, all working side by side to give every child the strongest possible start. We plan, reflect, and problem‑solve together every day, drawing on our shared knowledge to create a nurturing, engaging environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. That close teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. Please click on the book below to meet the team.
