There are two secondary schools in Skegness, The Skegness Grammar School, which is obviously a grammar school and St Clements College a comprehensive school.
The unfortunate thing with St Clements College is the Skegness Grammar School is selective and pretty much gets the top 25% of students from the Skegness and surrounding areas. This has resulted in many of the students at St Clements College listed as requiring special educational needs, lost the source now, but read about 1/4 of their pupils are SEN! From the BBC website almost 35% of the 171 students who sat GCSE’s at St Clements College in 2008 were special needs! In comparison of the 111 students from Skegness Grammar School who sat GCSE’s in 2008, none of them had SEN. So it’s unfair to directly compare these two schools (that being said our experience of both Skegness secondary schools has been far from impressive).
