From the Chair of Governors

My name is Susan Sanderson and I am currently the Chair of Governors of Sandside Lodge school. 

I joined the governors about 10 years ago as a LA governor. I was previously a primary headteacher, an adviser for special needs and headteacher of a secondary special school for secondary boys with social and emotional problems. I am now retired and wanted to continue to support the very special children. 

When I first began we were in the old building and dreamed of having a purpose built one which we have now got. Sandside Lodge has always had a good reputation and staff and pupils work hard and despite occasional obstacles make tremendous progress. I am very proud to be a governor and be able to contribute to this amazing school community.
