Sleaford Joint Sixth Form is a partnership in Sleaford, England, between Carre's Grammar School, Kesteven and Sleaford High School and St George's Academy.
The Sixth Form was amalgamated in 1983 for students from Sleaford's three secondary schools. At the time it was a partnership between Grammar and comprehensive schools. It was considered to be highly advantageous to all the schools concerned and was featured as a Case Study in a book considering how best to improve schools.[1]
Until 2010 the Joint Sixth Form was inclusive of all Sleaford Secondary Schools: Carre's Grammar School, St George's Academy (formerly St Georges College of Technology) and Kesteven and Sleaford High School. However, before the beginning of the 2010–11 academic year, Kesteven and Sleaford High School left the partnership, before re-joining in 2016.
KSHS leaving the Sixth Form
Kesteven and Sleaford High School ceased to take new sixth form students from the Joint Sixth Form from September 2010. Existing students were taught to the end of their courses in June 2011. The break-up was and remains controversial with the parties disputing responsibility for the decision. A local paper stated that the High School had decided to go its own way, quoting the headteachers from the other two schools, and this is the reason still cited on the Carre's Grammar School website.[2] Conversely, Kesteven and Sleaford High School blamed the fact that St George's had become an academy, which therefore made it impossible for the two schools to operate under a formal and legal agreement together.[3] In February 2015, the Kesteven school expressed its intention to join the Robert Carre Trust along with Carre's which then came into place 1 September 2015.[4] Although the Girl's High School is part of this trust it still operates on its own site, having its own staff, students and facilities.[5]
Courses and Events
The SJSF partnership offers courses across all 3 schools, ranging from art and media, to maths and science.[6] They offer transition packs for students moving from GCSE to A-Level, as found in the website, along with study guides and virtual subject briefings.[7]
In the past, multiple prefect teams from the SJSF have attended meetings with Sleaford's local MP Caroline Johnson,[8] or have taken part in North Kesteven's 2023 Question Time NK event, with the Heads of School Council from Carre's reviewing the event. [9]
