Description
Kesteven and Sleaford High School is a State Secondary School for kids aged 11 to 18 (Gender - Mixed)
The aim is to educate every student of today for the society of tomorrow. The highest standards are attained here each year and it is a pleasure to see the confident and well-rounded young people they produce. They aim to provide opportunities at all levels for developing the character of students and developing their potential through their participation in a wide range of educational experiences. This is provided by committed and well qualified staff who strive for best practice, evidence-based pedagogy and excellent learning outcomes for all students. A sense of community based on shared values of respect, commitment and trust remains a key focus. The intent is to consistently build upon the school’s achievements, utilising the school’s current strengths to develop, whilst recognising opportunities and potential threats. This will enable them to realise the vision of creating a learning community in which every girl in Years 7-11, and all our students in our co-educational, shared Sixth Form can achieve their potential; intellectually, socially and personally, in a mutually supportive environment.

Curriculum
It is the ambition that all students leave Kesteven and Sleaford High School having achieved their academic potential as well as being fully prepared for their next stage in education, or for work, and having acquired an enthusiasm for lifelong learning. The school provides a broad, balanced, and relevant curriculum to offer the very best academic (and, where appropriate, vocational) progression pathways and to ensure that the learning needs of each child are considered, and that the development of the whole child is addressed. The commitment is to offer a broad range of opportunities for all students to gain experiences, learning outside the classroom as well as within. The provision of a curriculum which provides enrichment through cultural and sporting pursuits is a key feature of the Robert Carre Trust (RCT) curriculum offer and they seek to continue to extend the partnerships locally, nationally, and internationally to extend these opportunities. By encouraging creativity alongside application, honesty, sensitivity, compassion, and moral and spiritual self-awareness they believe that they will ensure that the students will develop the capacity to meet the challenges of the modern world and lead happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives, making the best of their talents.
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
Kesteven and Sleaford High School Selective Academy believes that all pupils have a right to a broad, balanced, relevant and inclusive curriculum that challenges them to achieve academic and personal success. The school aims to encourage and foster the development of all pupils. It is the intention to identify any barriers to learning at an early stage and to ensure that provision is put in place for any specific needs or difficulties, to ensure these needs are supported successfully through a graduated response that includes teachers, parents and pupils

Things to note
Extra Curricular
Becoming a rounded individual is an important aspect of life in the sixth form and enables students to get a good work-life balance as well as developing transferrable skills. Students have no lessons timetabled on a Wednesday afternoon to enable them to participate in a variety of Enrichment activities. They encourage students to do at least one Academic, one Altruistic and one Active enrichment activity in this time throughout the year. Academic opportunities include the Extended Project Qualification, online learning courses, Debate Club, Book Club and subject clubs.
Educational Visits
At KSHS they currently offer a number of different activities and trips which support the curriculum. They believe strongly that learning can be extended and enriched beyond the classroom and therefore offer a range of opportunities to help your child experience different cultures, strengthen friendships and undertake personal challenges.
