Originally founded by Sir Robert Carre in 1604, this school was established on its present site in 1835. It is now a 'selective academy with specialism in sports and science'. Intake is restricted to boys for years 7 - 11, but the sixth form is co-educational.

Part of the Grade II-listed Carre's Grammar School. As a result of the gradual development of the school site over several hundred years a number of buildings in differing architectural styles can be seen fronting different sections of North Gate. The school was founded in 1604 as the result of a bequest by Robert Carre of Aswarby to provide for the education of local boys and Charles Kirk was the architect responsible for a rebuild of school in 1834. Apparently the school went into a period of decline in the late C18th and early C19th centuries, effectively closing in 1816. However, a group of trustees purchased land in 1826 and secured funding in 1830 for the construction of new buildings and the school was reopened in 1835. Further extensions were added in the 1900s and added to in 1940s and 1950s. The school became grant-maintained in 1991. It received Specialist Sports College status in 2003 and an additional Science specialist status in 2009. In 2011 it became an Academy. This section of North Gate - i.e. the B1518 – is the part furthest from the town centre.

This stretch of railway connects Sleaford West Junction with Sleaford North Junction and is used by passenger trains on the Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Line (between Spalding and Lincoln) that call at Sleaford station. Freight trains use an avoiding line.

Though having a 400 year history the school was only established on its present site in Northgate on 1st August 1835. A new school was opened on 27 July 1904, further buildings were added in 1945 and the early 1960s with new laboratories and a purpose built Technology Centre opening in September 1992. A Sports Hall was opened in November 1996 for the use of the School and the people of Sleaford with yet more additions comprising specialist rooms for technology and other teaching areas opening in 1998. The school became a Foundation School in 2002 and on application was granted the status of Specialist Sports College as of September 1st 2003.
