Sandringham High School is a Zimbabwean Methodist Church school located 25 km from the town of Norton and 65 km from Harare.[1] It is a mixed school that offers educational services up to Form 6.
Origins
The Methodist Church in Zimbabwe acquired a farm next to Chibero College of Agriculture in Chivero communal lands, Mhondoro, so it could build a church and school to facilitate the settlement of church members. The school taught both primary school and secondary school levels. The campus was divided into different buildings, including school blocks, residencies for boys and girls, sports fields, and teacher's accommodations. The secondary school curriculum focused on technical education where girls were taught home economics, food and nutrition, and fashion and fabrics, while boys were taught construction and agriculture.
