Founded in 1677, Sandbach School is located on Crewe Road in Sandbach, Cheshire. Sandbach School is unique in the United Kingdom in that it is an independent comprehensive school but it still has a relationship with the Cheshire Local Education Authority (LEA). It is an all-boys school offering admission from the age of 11. The school has its own Sixth Form and so offers A-Levels, amongst many other qualifications. Sandbach School is now a Specialist Arts College.
