Many families in Kent believe that a grammar school is the only educational route to success and sometimes overlook the breadth of opportunity that is available in other settings.

Sandwich Technology School is committed to promoting the successful transition from childhood to adulthood of those in its care. There is a culture of high expectation and focussed learning, which is under-pinned by traditional values. A “back to basics” approach is reaping dividends, with year on year improvements.

They were pleased to see there has been considerable improvements noted in the school’s examination results this year despite the national predictions of lower grades, Mrs Savage, Headteacher commented “The students have done very well indeed.

This year's group are the first group who have not received any special dispensation due to the pandemic, despite the fact that their education was, of course, interrupted. They have responded to this challenge magnificently and I am full of respect for their application and success.”

Students at the school achieved more grade 9s in full examinations than ever before – a 71% increase on last year and 2019.

Twelve subjects have also improved upon their 2019 results, showing that the school has bucked the national trend. Students matched or eclipsed the cohort of 2019 in many academic or Ebacc subjects including English language, Maths, History, Geography and Spanish.

At GCSE and beyond, the traditional subjects at STS are balanced with vocational options to ensure that the school caters for the needs and interests of all of its learners.

Sandwich Technology School is determined to help as many students as possible achieve their future dreams and aspirations in a non-selective environment and is very proud of the fact that virtually all of its students progress on to either apprenticeships, employment or university.
