Sandford Park School is a small private, non-denominational, co-educational secondary school, located in the inner suburbs in Dublin, Ireland. It was founded in 1922.
Sandford Park School is a small co-educational private, non-denominational school and was established on 12 September 1922. Its first headmaster was Alfred Le Peton, who had been the joint headmaster with Ernest Exshaw of Earlsfort House School. The joint headmasters of Earlsfort House moved the school from city centre to the suburbs. The school was previously an all boys school but decided to go co-ed in 2013 which became a great success and the school grew. The school will have approximately 350 students from September 2017 of which a third will be girls.
The Sandford Union was inaugurated in the 1930s, to enable past pupils to keep in touch with one another and the school itself. A Sandford Union newsletter, The Stentorian, is sent to all past pupils with news and Union event details. The Sandford Union hold several events during the year culminating in the annual dinner held every year on the fourth Friday in November.
