Sandon studied mathematics at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge finishing as a Wrangler. He joined the Home office but found he was 'too remote from real people' so changed to teaching after World War I. He taught at Highgate School from 1921-1923 and at various grammar schools, becoming headmaster of Plymouth Corporation Grammar School, founded in 1562, for eight years until its closure in 1937. A strong believer in co-education, in 1941 Sandon was appointed headmaster of Millom County Secondary School in Millom, Cumberland.[2][3][4] He wrote or contributed to numerous books on statistics.[5]
