Choosing the right school for your child is an exciting and important time for you as a parent or carer. That is why we like to take the time with you to show you and your child what our school has to offer, to answer your questions and give you a flavour of school life at Rauceby. We are always happy to give personal tours of the school as well as the open events we organise for the Autumn term.

We are a one form entry school and accept 28 children each year. We take children from a much wider area than is indicated on the map below. Many of our children come from the villages of North and South Rauceby, the Greylees estate, Sleaford and the surrounding villages. However, we have a significant number of families from further afield. There is a public bus that many of our children use from Greylees and the Sleaford area to travel to school.

We are often over subscribed but we do currently have some vacancies in every year group except for Y5 and Y6. Please contact our school office for a personal tour around the school with our Headteacher.
