The speaker at the meeting of Kendal Rotary Club on 7th October was Dan Hinton, headmaster of Sandgate School who gave us a flavour of their ethos and values. The curriculum at Sandgate School is focused on individual pathways and offer a route through school that strives towards their vision of ‘Achievement For All’. To fulfil the vision they 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.”
