Welcome to Sandwich Technology School

Welcome to Sandwich Technology School.

We are proud to be a popular 11-18 academy, serving the needs of our local rural community.

Sandwich Technology School provides each and every student with the opportunity to flourish and succeed in an inspiring and nurturing environment.

We offer a carefully planned curriculum that balances academic subjects with a wealth of opportunities beyond the classroom. We are especially proud of our provision for arts, technology and sport, all of which are distinctive features of our school.

We believe every student has something special to contribute and we seek opportunities to praise, celebrate and reward their many and varied achievements.

We are fortunate to have an excellent team of dedicated and professional staff who are totally committed to our students' academic progress and personal development. We promote high standards and have clear expectations for conduct. Our ethos is caring and inclusive where all members of the Sandwich Technology School community are valued.

To further understand and appreciate the spirit of STS for yourself, you are very welcome to book a meeting with me and have a tour of the school. We look forward to welcoming you.

Enrichment Activities

Show all activities
There is more to life than just academia - it is important to us that students engage in a range of meaningful life experiences and have a chance to give back to the community. The following are some of the ways in which we do this.

Age UK

Building connections across the generations, we will help students to work with Age Concern to bring some much needed support to our older citizens.

University Outreach Programmes

We work closely with the University of Kent, the University of the Creative Arts and Canterbury Christ Church University to provide activities that complement our core curriculum. The activities in this strand are designed to support students' subject knowledge as well as developing skills to help students to succeed in their A Levels.

Mental Health Education

The Peer Education Project is a school-based programme that aims to give young people the skills and knowledge they need to safeguard their mental health and that of their peers. By training older pupils to deliver mental health lessons to younger students, the project aims to bypass the barriers many young people put up when being taught such nuanced, personal topics by adults, whom they feel are detached from their personal experiences.
