The Governors
Kesteven and Sleaford High School has been part of the Robert Carre Trust since September 2015. Each school in the Trust has a Local Governing Body, comprising 4 Community Governors, 2 Parent Governors, 2 Staff Governors and the Head of School. Governors’ Terms of Office are usually 4 years, except for Ex Officio Governors. The LGBs are responsible for school-specific policies, such as Admissions, and report to the Trust Board with assurances on aspects of school management, such as Safeguarding, Curriculum, SEND, Wellbeing and Health & Safety.

Local Governor Vacancies
The Robert Carre Trust has recently undertaken a wide-ranging Governance Review and we are delighted to say that as a result of the Board agreeing the plans and making various positive changes to current appointments on the Local Governing Bodies, which will be known as Local Governance Tiers, we have two Parent Governor vacancies at both schools with effect from 1 September. We are currently starting the election process and nomination papers are being sent out to all parents. They are also available under the Downloads section below.
Please note the closing date for the Parent Governor nominations has now passed. The results/next steps will be published shortly.
All parents of, or those with parental responsibilities for, students currently registered at Carre’s Grammar School or Kesteven & Sleaford High School are eligible to be nominated and, if there are more candidates than vacancies, a ballot will be held.
The re-structure is also creating extra Community Governor positions. If you would like to be considered for this role, please contact the Governance Professional.
Financial Arrangements
As part of the Robert Carre Trust, the school’s financial arrangements are the responsibility of the Trust. Full details of the Trust’s accounting arrangements, annual reports, etc., can be found on the Trust Website.
