The school offers a caring, Christian environment and has established important links with the local church and community. St Andrew's features extensive accommodation in two buildings and extensive facilities including a sheltered play area, outdoor theatre, and a purpose-built all-weather sports court. Key Stage One classes are housed in a modern building constructed in the early 1970s, while Key Stage Two classes, dating back to the mid-1840s, have experienced additional development through the years.
