I am delighted to welcome you to Carre's Grammar School, an over-subscribed selective Academy located in the market town of Sleaford. We are proud to be part of the Community Inclusive Trust, following our recent merger, which marks an exciting new chapter in our development.
We currently have 810 students on roll boys only from ages 11 to 16, and co-educational in the Sixth Form. Carre's has long been synonymous with excellence, and our reputation for providing a first-rate all-round education continues to grow. Our academic results speak for themselves, and our achievements in Sport, Music, and other enrichment activities are outstanding.
We are regularly recognised as one of the top-performing schools nationally, with students progressing to Oxbridge, Russell Group universities, apprenticeships, and employment. Our ambition is for Carre's students to leave school with a lifelong enthusiasm for learning.
