carre's grammar school
Sleaford
I am delighted to welcome you to Carre’s Grammar School, which is an
over-subscribed selective Academy in the market town of Sleaford and a founding
partner of the Robert Carre Trust. We have 800 students on roll; boys only
11-16, and co-educational in the Sixth Form. The school has long been synonymous
with excellence and the school’s reputation for providing a first rate all-round
education for local students has been strengthened even further over recent
years. Our academic results speak for themselves while our achievements in
Sport, Music and other activities are outstanding. 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. We have been recognised as one of the top
schools in the country based on our performance in the last few years, and
students have regularly accepted offers for Oxbridge and the top Universities,
whilst others have gone onto apprenticeships or employment. It is our ambition
that Carre’s students should leave school with an enthusiasm for learning which
will last them a lifetime. By encouraging creativity and originality alongside
honesty, sensitivity and compassion we believe that our students will develop
the capacity to meet the challenges of the modern world and lead happy and
fulfilling lives. The friendly, cheerful atmosphere of the school helps our
students enjoy learning and, as they grow into young men and women, we enable
them to take increasing responsibility for themselves and for others around
them. Learning can only take place successfully in a caring and orderly
community and we provide an environment in which the young people are expected
to work hard and share in the ethos and values of the school. Our expectations
of behaviour are high and we aim to support each child through their school
career so that they make the best of their talents. We are committed to the
belief that it is very important to offer as many opportunities as possible to
our students to gain experience from learning outside the classroom. An
extensive array of enrichment and extra-curricular activities is offered.
Partnerships have been developed locally, nationally and internationally which
extend opportunities for all. At best, the website only gives you a flavour of
this remarkable school, a school proud of its heritage yet excited by its
continued development, growth and innovation, so I invite you to visit us to
fully appreciate what the school offers.
