About our school
We are a Specialist Arts College mixed 11-16 comprehensive and we have high
expectations of and for our students, with talented, committed and experienced staff
who give freely of their time to create opportunities for success for all students. Our
student population is drawn from a wide area as our reputation both as a community
and in the community is extremely positive. We limit the number of students at Caistor
Yarborough which enables us to know all of them as individuals and create a genuinely
personalised learning programme as they progress through Caistor Yarborough. We are
proud to be a Values School with outstanding pastoral care.
Our work received external approval with an excellent Ofsted report in April 2007 and
in our interim review. Our Arts College status has created further opportunities for
the students to showcase their skills, talents and abilities in a vibrant school with the
emphasis firmly on individual achievement.
About our project
Public Art
As part of our ‘Change Programme’ we want to create a visual statement to impress all
those who visit the school – pupils, teaching staff, parents, governors, visitors. The main
entrance and exit of the school are steep driveways leading onto a main road, and the
main car park area is well used by cars and school buses. The school is well concealed
from the main road into the village. This has led to the need for a statement artwork
to greet all and sundry as they arrive at, or leave the school, one that speaks of the
schools values. We are seeking submissions from a wide variety of artforms – sculpture,
installation, signage, metalwork etc, for this element of the programme and are open
to ideas . These submissions should take the form of being co-produced with a group of
students with the emphasis on sharing practitioner skills with the group. The students
may be from year 7 to 10. More information about the schools, its vision and values can
be gained from its website, www.caistor-yarborough.lincs.sch.uk
