    Published 18/04/24

    Staff are invited to nominate students who have demonstrated a Growth Mindset in the past few weeks. This might have been in lessons, in clubs, in tutor time or simply around school. Please note we already award bi-annual subject badges and merits for good academic work, effort and improvement. These Growth Mindset nominations recognise those who show resilience (academic or otherwise); who aren’t afraid to get things wrong and learn from it; those who have a go, take themselves out of their comfort zone or show that even if a task is tough, they will persevere.

  • Student success - Kuk Sool Won

    Published 14/03/24

    Grace (8FJ) tells us about her Kuk Sool Won journey so far.......

    I’ve been training at Sleaford Kuk Sool Won (an amazing Korean martial art) since March 2017. I’ve worked hard and done some amazing things, but the year 2023 was the best year yet! Already a first degree black belt, I started my 2-year journey to second degree black belt in June after a very intense 3 hour testing. Following that, I then competed in the European tournament in the under 12 girls category. The girls I was against were very good and it was great to meet new people but also be with people I have trained with for several years. In the tournament, I competed in five categories. These were Sword, Staff, Forms, Techniques and Sparring. I won five medals. I won gold in sparring, silver in Form and Staff form, bronze in Sword form and copper in techniques. Later, I went on to join the demonstration team in which I performed techniques and the ‘Nak Bup’ team. ‘Nak Bup’ means break falling/acrobatics.

  • Student Success - Swimming

    Published 08/02/24

    Congratulations to Evelyn (8FJ), at the recent Lincolnshire ASA county swimming championships. 

    Having achieved the tough qualifying times to enter the competition, Evelyn competed with hundreds of other swimmers over two weekends, representing the Lincoln Vulcans Swimming Club in 50m, 100m, 200m breast stroke as well as the 100m individual medley.  She reached the final in all her events and even won a bronze medal in the 50m race.  These results came as a result of her persistence and hard work during training, involving many very early starts and a big commitment from her; we are all very proud of her achievement.

  • New Science lab for September 2024!

    Published 02/02/24

    We are delighted to announce our plans to invest £90,000 in the refurbishment of an existing classroom into a fully equipped Science lab, after staff at the school were successful in securing additional funding.

    Work will start on the project in July this year, and it should be completed in time for the start of the Autumn term.

    The cost of the project is funded with the help of a grant of nearly £80,000 from the Wolfson Foundation, an independent charity with a focus on research and education that awards grants to support excellence in the fields of science, health, heritage, humanities and the arts.

    Although we already have six fully functioning labs, the development will mean more specialist facilities available for science classes.

    We are delighted to have secured the grant and excited about how the new facilities can help our students reach their potential.

    Paul Ramsbottom, Chief Executive of the Wolfson Foundation, said: “We are very pleased to support Kesteven and Sleaford High School in creating outstanding facilities for their students. We hope the new laboratory will help inspire students to have a lifelong interest in science.”
