Carre's Grammar School is a selective school and specialist Sports and Science College located in the market town of Sleaford, in Lincolnshire, England. It was founded in 1604 by Sir Robert Carre. The school has been at its present site since 1835.
In 1983, Carre's entered into a consortium with the other two Sleaford secondary schools to form a whole-town co-educational Sleaford Joint Sixth Form Consortium. Following the withdrawal of Kesteven and Sleaford High School from the Consortium in 2010, the joint sixth form continues with just Carre's and St George's Academy. On 1 August 2011 Carre's Grammar School became an Academy meaning that the school would no longer be supported by Lincolnshire County Council.

“Like everything metaphysical the harmony between thought and reality is to be found in the grammar of the language.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
