Collaborative Work
At St. Sebastian's Primary School, we work closely with other Church of England schools and KYRA Teaching School Alliance in order to provide the best possible education for our children and ensure continued school improvement work. We federated with Marston Thorold's Charity C of E Primary School on 1st January 2020 to form The Grantham Villages' CE Primary Schools Federation.

Mission Statement and Aims of the Collaboration
As a GRACE School, each school is committed to working closely with the other schools to:
create a collaborative framework which will support schools, within the collaboration and provide an external view / validation; challenging where appropriate
so that pupils irrespective of gender, race, creed or ability; staff; governors and parents can – ‘grow together,’ so that all can fulfil their potential.
And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom,
and the grace of God was on him.
Luke 2:40
As part of The GRACE Trust, we will work closely with our partners, so that our school can continue to work together with pupils, staff, governors and parents so that we can all become the best that we can be.
