Background:

Sandwich Junior School was opened in 1967. The school was originally designated as a Primary School, but in 1977 two separate schools were created. Both the infants and junior schools maintain very close links. The school has eight classes arranged into two parallel classes per year-group. There is a large school hall (used for PE, assemblies and dining) and a kitchen, which provides cooked meals for both the infant and junior Schools, as well as Worth County Primary School. The school has two playgrounds and a playing field. Extra-curricular activities include football, rugby, cricket, netball, athletics, gardening, choir, chess, art, an internet cafe and science clubs. One third of pupils are learning a musical instrument. The school was awarded the Activemark Gold in 2003 for its sports provision. The school participates in local carnivals and community functions. In 2003/04 the school choir performed at both Dove Castle and Canterbury Cathedral.
