We are delighted to announce the 100th Annual Dinner celebrating 125 years of the Old Sandbachians’ Association on July 5th.

Andrew James Cleal was at Sandbach School from 1974 to 1981, and those staff and pupils who were there at the time will undoubtedly all have fond and varied memories of this enigmatic and unique student.
