Schools in Sandy
Sandy has 9 schools — 8 primaries and 1 secondary — primarily within Central Bedfordshire Council's admissions co-ordination, with one school falling under Cambridgeshire. The LA boundary split means parents should confirm which authority's co-ordinated scheme applies to their preferred school before submitting an application.
One school has a religious character. Central Bedfordshire Council publishes its co-ordinated admissions scheme and catchment information each autumn, with the primary national offer on 16 April and secondary on 1 March. Sandy's location on the East Coast Main Line makes it popular with London commuters, which can drive demand at the most convenient schools near the station.
