Aims:

The Star Alliance is a group of schools in the Sandwich area who have chosen to work together with the principal aim of working collaboratively for the greater good of the children in our shared community. As a group of schools we have agreed to meet termly to share good practice, ideas and resources with a view to supporting each other and improving:

Assessment and moderation

Teaching and Learning

CPD for staff, leaders and governors

Recruitment and induction for new staff through mentoring

Inclusion and outcomes for disadvantaged learners

Formulating policy through sharing resources

Joint events and opportunities for children

Business management

This is a goodwill arrangement that does not impose any sense of obligation on any participating school.

Our Values

At Sandwich Junior School, the pupils and staff uphold our Core Values, which are at the centre of our school ethos and all that we do. They were first established by the pupils of our school, who chose specific animals that they felt represented the values and attitudes they should show every day, at school and at home:

The Wolf

Working together as a Wolf Pack, we are a community. Helping peers in difficult times, and celebrating our successes.

The Salmon

We always try our best – showing resilience, we never give up. We are always striving to reach the top and take risks with learning, as that is when we make our biggest leaps forward.

The Eagle

Aiming high to achieve the best we can be, and soaring high to reach our potential.

The Dolphin

When children enjoy their learning, they will achieve more.
