Sandilands Community Primary School is a primary school situated on Wendover Road, Wythenshawe, Manchester, England.

Awards
Sandilands has been awarded the Active Mark by Sport England, following a rigorous assessment, to show the school is committed to the benefits of physical activity and sport.
The school has also received the Leading Aspect Award to mark its inspiring approach to ICT.
School Council
There is a School Council consisting of eight pupils, one from each class in years 3-6, that meets twice a term. The Council has a budget of around £50 with which to buy extra equipment. Though the meetings are supervised by an adult, that person has no say whatsoever on the spending decisions.
ICT
The school is one of only five in the north-west taking part in the PELRS project (Pedagogies with E-Learning Resources) developed by the Manchester Metropolitan University following critical evaluations of the government's £1bn investment in ICT.
Attendance initiative
The School has developed a strategy to improve attendance and rewards every pupil who achieves 100% attendance each term with a further reward if a pupil achieves 100% attendance for the whole academic year.
