Employer Description:

The governors, staff and I are delighted to introduce you to the work of our school.

The Pilgrim School is a Community Special School (Hospital School). We act on behalf of Lincolnshire County Council to fulfil their duties under Section 19 of the 1996 Education Act. We also provide education to pupils who are not able to access their mainstream school due to illness, physical or mental, short or long term.

We have three bases at Lincoln, Baumber and Amber Hill. In addition, we provide education for pupils in the home whose medical needs are such that they cannot access a base.

We are a hope led school. We draw upon the work of positive psychologists such as Rick Snyder, Shane Lopez, Martin Seligman, and Dante Dixson.  We passionately believe that a child’s history is not their destiny; that a person’s current circumstance does not dictate their future.
