Welcome to Sandgate School - Our Ethos and Values
Welcome to the Sandgate School Website. We hope that you manage to get a flavour of who we are through viewing the amazing things that we do. The curriculum at Sandgate School is focused on individual pathways, we offer a route through school that strives towards our vision of ‘Achievement For All’. To fulfil the vision we aim to develop every child’s personality, abilities and talents to the full, to be the best they can be.
As Headteacher it is my responsibility to ensure that all students at Sandgate school are safe, secure and educated inclusively, I also firmly believe that it is within my brief to make sure that all children have an amazing experience and love coming to school. We have a dedicated staff team that are constantly developing and adapting to the needs of students in our catchment and beyond. We place a high value on parental involvement incorporating the families aims and ambitions into the curriculum which is developed for each child, now and into the future.

Nathan Maguire, Paralympian - Q & A with Sandgate
Nathan is a T54 wheelchair racer, his most recent achievement being his successes at the European Championships in Berlin 2018, winning Bronze medals in the T54 100m, 200m and 800m as well as being apart of a Gold medal winning 4X100m Universal relay team, securing a world record in the process.
Nathan took time to send Sandgate students a video where he answered some questions sent to him from the pupils.

The Sandgate Campus
Sandgate is a split site school. Our Primary site is situated on Sandylands Road 5 minutes walk away from our Secondary Site at The Queen Katherine School on Appleby Rd. Many of our students work on both of the campuses not only as a means of using specialist equipment but also to aid the integration into secondary school life.
