Opportunities for art, drama, music and sport are all very strong at Sackville, alongside opportunities to participate in a number of STEM related activities.
As an SSAT ‘Leading Edge’ school, we are recognised for our excellence in professional learning, curriculum design, research engagement, and leadership with moral purpose. High-quality teaching and learning drive our success, and we offer extensive opportunities for professional development through collaboration within our Federation of schools and national networks such as SSAT, Challenge Partners, and PiXL. This includes taking a lead role in the delivery of coaching and leadership training across Sussex.
