Carre's Grammar School

Carre’s Grammar School is a vibrant, exciting and caring community with a 400+ year history.  We are committed to the highest expectations and standards for our students and genuinely focus on developing the individual, not only in the academic sense but valuing learning outside the classroom with the same rigour and involvement as the learning within it.  

Our students are keen to learn, have curious minds, and make the most of all the opportunities available to them, whether that is in the classroom, in clubs, on school trips or on the sports field.  

Our success can be measured not only by the consistently outstanding academic achievements of our students, but also by their confidence and maturity.  We aim to make sure that by the time students leave us they are mature, respectful, courteous, tolerant and well-rounded young people with excellent attitudes, ready to face the challenges that life will present to them.  

We have been recognised as a Good school with Outstanding features by Ofsted and were delighted with this outcome, which recognised the strengths of the school and supported our own perceived areas for improvement.  The behaviour of our students was found to be Outstanding.  

We pride ourselves on working in partnership with parents and the wider community to develop each student’s knowledge, experience, imagination and understanding, thus preparing them to be active participants in society with an awareness of moral values and a capacity for enjoyment.  

For staff wishing to join us, we offer a welcoming and friendly school community, a professional, enthusiastic and supportive team of staff, the opportunity to be part of the successful Joint Sixth Form working with the two other secondary schools in the town, and excellent opportunities for personal and professional development.  We also offer free gym membership and free parking on site.   

Sleaford is a growing market town with affordable housing and a good standard of living.  It is a safe and friendly town in which to live and work, with easy access to Lincoln, Grantham, Peterborough and Nottingham.
