We were absolutely delighted with our public examination results again this year at both A level and GCSE. Hopefully you had a chance to see our social media postings around the time of results days.

Our A level students' success means many of them are preparing for university places, apprenticeships or work and we wish them all the very best as many of them leave home for life in new settings.

GCSE students can be mightily proud too of their success and it’s been super to see so many of them back in the Sleaford Joint Sixth Form this week. These students were in Year 6 when the pandemic affected their transition into secondary school and have brilliantly navigated a challenging few years, demonstrating their resilience and determination each step of the way. Some students have overcome considerable challenges to achieve their results.

Both sets of results open extraordinary opportunities for our students which allow them to be really ambitious about their futures. 

The staff also deserve huge recognition for the part they have played in preparing students for their next ambitious steps as they have worked harder than ever before to deliver high quality teaching and learning, or offer support in a range of roles across the school. We would also like to thank all the parents and carers for their ongoing support.

There is a safeguarding page on the school website. This will give you key information about the Safeguarding team, should you need to contact them. There is also a Parents’ section where you will find useful links to help you support your child. Kesteven & Sleaford High School - Safeguarding (kshs.uk)

Who are we and what do we do?

We are a small but enthusiastic group of teachers and parents who meet once a term to organise fundraising events and plan support for the school in a number of different ways.

Through our fundraising, we can provide some of the ‘little extras’ which the school would not normally be able to provide from educational budgets.

Over the course of the last year we have provided:

• Every student with a school planner
• Picnic blankets in the school grounds
• Beanbags in the Library
• Part-funded the new large-screen and sound facilities in the Sports Hall.  

Last year we hosted an Easter Bingo event, provided refreshments at school events and continued to run our ever popular ‘100 club’.  We also raise money by providing the school pre-loved uniform shop which you can access via the school website.

Can you help us?

Do you have any unwanted school uniform at home to donate? We are always on the lookout for good quality pre-loved uniform – simply drop items into school.

Could you join us on the PTA? We meet 6 times a year in the school Conference Room and are always keen to welcome new members. Our first meeting is on Monday 29^th September at 7pm and will include our AGM.

We would like to build our team of cover supervisors. The role involves supervising students whilst they undertake work left by an absent teacher. Our students are hardworking, have exemplary behaviour and are welcoming. They want to learn! Full training is given and the role is suitable for adults of any age, we just ask that you enjoy the company of young people! The role is offered without commitment on your part – you can accept or reject the offer of work as it becomes available. We pay an hourly rate of £12.88. We are happy to show you round the school if you are interested.
