Schools in Sandy

The Lodge at Sandy Warren, home to the RSPB's national headquarters since 1961, stands on the greensand hills that give this Central Bedfordshire town its name and define its eastern edge. Sandy counts around 12,000 residents. The main built-up streets spread westward between those hills and the River Ivel, with the A1 skirting the western edge of the town.

Sandy and Great Gransden are among the most sought-after corners of the area for families competing for primary school places, with Gamlingay drawing similar family interest further west. Sandy railway station sits on the Great Northern line, with services reaching Peterborough in around thirty minutes.
