Spalding Academy

The Official Spalding Academy Lincolnshire Page

Spalding Academy (previously Sir John Gleed School) was created by the amalgamation of two good schools. We are a co-educational school with a modern outlook and a focus on high achievement.

We work closely with parents and carers to ensure every child is both supported and challenged. Parents /carers are invited to two meetings each year and we are developing our learning gateway which allows constant access to your child’s progress data, so that you can arrange a meeting at any time if concerns arise. The Head of Year for your child’s year will monitor progress and celebrate success, as well as offering guidance when needed.

We believe that a pleasant working environment is vital if your child is to succeed. As well as large, well-equipped classrooms, we have specialist facilities in a range of areas. We also care for your child’s personal welfare. Some of our strengths include:

A Student Support Manager for each year group who helps to ensure that nothing inside or outside of school is allowed to interfere with learning.

Cashless catering so that your child does not need to worry about bringing money to school each day. Easy to use and impossible to lose, this puts many minds at rest when it comes to your child being properly fed during the day, especially as we are a healthy school.

Three food outlets, serving a range of hot and cold foods, ensuring queues are kept down.

Individual cubicles instead of toilet blocks. A major concern when starting secondary school can be the toilets. Our new facilities reduce these anxieties, while providing a pleasant environment for all.

A purpose built student reception, supporting students throughout the day.
