Carre's Grammar School is a selective school and specialist Sports and Science College located in the market town of Sleaford, in Lincolnshire, England. It was founded in 1604 by Sir Robert Carre.[1] The school has been at its present site since 1835.
In 1983, Carre's entered into a consortium with the other two Sleaford secondary schools to form a unique whole-town co-educational Sleaford Joint Sixth Form Consortium. Following the withdrawal of Kesteven and Sleaford High School from the Consortium in 2010,[2] the joint sixth form continues with just Carre's and St George's Academy.
History
Carre's Grammar School was founded in 1603 by way of an indenture between Robert Carre and local gentlemen. The purpose of the founder was 'the better education of the Youth and Children born or inhabiting with their parents, within New Sleaford, Old Sleaford, Aswarby and Holdingham, Quarrington, North Rauceby, South Rauceby, Anwick, Kirkby la Thorpe and Evedon.[citation needed]
The site of the school between its foundation and 1653 is not fully documented, although St Denys Church records show its north transcept being used as a school-room c.1810 - c.1834[1]. In that year the nephew of the founder moved the school to be part of the Hospital buildings on the south side of the Church.[citation needed] The Carre family line died out in the late 17th century.
The school was re-established on its present site in Northgate and opened on 1 August 1835.[citation needed]
New buildings
A new school was opened on 27 July 1904 by the Marquess of Bristol.[citation needed] School fees were abolished as a result of the Education Act 1944, and from 1948 all entry was by the County Selection Examination. Later buildings were added in 1945 and the 1960s.
Grant-maintained status was achieved in September 1990, and the new laboratories and a purpose built Technology Centre were opened in September 1992.
In partnership with North Kesteven District Council, a Sports Hall, used by the School and the people of Sleaford, was opened in November 1996, and a further block comprising specialist rooms for Technology and other teaching areas was opened in 1998.
Currently (Autumn 2010), work is being undertaken on a food technology building and a new Fitness Suite.[citation needed]
When Grant-Maintained status was abolished in 1999, the school became a Foundation School.
Specialist status
Following a successful bid to the DfES submitted in October 2002, the school was granted specialist Sports College status from 1 September 2003. The first stage of a new specialist teaching and community area for students and partners to use state of the art fitness facilities linked to ICT equipment was completed in October 2002. Further facilities are planned for the future.[citation needed] Then in 2007 the school opened a brand new all weather pitch.
As of 1 April 2009, the school has officially been made a specialist Science College.
Resources and Buildings
With the relatively recent creation of the learning resource centre (LRC) and the all weather football pitch there are two new buildings. On the lower floor of the most recent addition to Carre's is a fully equipped multi-function gym which provides excellent facilities for the students of the school to enhance their physical condition. On the upper floor of the new building is an extensive resource centre, equipped with an interactive whiteboard, a digital projector, 61 computers, as well as a reasonably comprehensive library, containing erotic fiction, reference, and non-fiction on various subjects. There is also an area for careers and further education, mainly used for reference by older students.
The most recent addition to the school is the all weather pitch, of FIFA standards. It consists of a full size pitch, equally divisible into 3 smaller pitches, which can be used for a variety of sports. This is a semi floodlit facility and is a great addition to the school.
The school also comprises some historic buildings, including "Big School", believed to be one of the original teaching rooms in the 16th century. The older Grade II Listed buildings at 38-40 Carre Street[3] are now host to the sixth form common rooms and Assistant Headteacher's offices, which was previously the Headmaster's House during the boarding school days of the school. Outside of the Old School House is the Headmaster's Garden, whose usage is solely reserved for 6th form and staff.
More modern buildings around the school include the modern Sports Hall and Technology Blocks, with T1, T2 and T4, fully equipped modern technology workshops for metalwork, woodwork, and industrial technology.
The school called the new maths room 'Room ∏ (pi)', which is a converted storage room to maximise the learning space and productiveness of the school.
