Culford School Independent Listener

The Independent Listener is a person outside the staff and those responsible for the leadership and governance of the school, who boarders may contact directly about personal problems or concerns at school.

Vicki Sanderson

Vicki has long been a friend of Culford, initially as a parent, son Alex and daughter Frankie both completed A levels here, and more recently as a Governor, a role she relinquished in 2021.

We are delighted she will continue to support Culford as our Independent Listener, her experiences as a mother and a Governor make her well suited to the role.

Vicki is kind and compassionate and understands the challenges that young people face. Vicki is available to contact on 07974 379128 or by email: vicki@sanderson.myzen.co.uk.

I have been able to pursue my passion, win a place at the National Youth Film Academy and secure a job at a leading marketing agency. This would not have been possible without Culford's support.

Culford has influenced me in such a positive way, especially Mr Dodd. He taught me so much about the game of golf and passed on valuable knowledge I will take with me as I head to America.

Culford has shown me there is more to life than academics. It's important to balance your time and make time for your friends.
