The Pilgrim School is a Community Special School (Hospital School). We act on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council to fulfil their duties under Section 19 of the 1996 Education Act. This means that we are a special school. We also provide education to pupils who are not able to access their mainstream school due to illness, physical or mental, short or long term.
