Sleaford Joint Sixth Form is a partnership in Sleaford, England between Carre's Grammar School and St George's Academy to provide greater learning opportunities for all students.
History
The Sixth form was amalgamated in 1983 in order to increase the education opportunities for all of the students from Sleaford's three secondary schools. At the time it was unprecedented and has since received national acknowledgement for its achievements, mainly because the partnership is between a Grammar School(s) and a comprehensive/academy.
It is a partnership that works quite well, as Carre's is better suited for more traditional subjects (e.g. Sciences due to its Grammar School status and science specialism) and St George's is optimised for both the more modern subjects and traditional subjects (e.g. Mathematics due to its Academy status and Maths and Computing specialism).
Kesteven and Sleaford High School
The sixth form used to be inclusive of all of the Sleaford Secondary Schools: Carre's Grammar School, St George's Academy (formerly St Georges College of Technology) and Kesteven and Sleaford High School (Grammar School). However, before the beginning of this academic year (2010–11) Kesteven and Sleaford Sixth Form left the partnership. It was this decision that resulted in Carre's changing its sixth form admissions policy to allow girls into the school.
