I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and welcome you to Springwell Alternative Academy Spalding. My name is Lisa Ashcroft-­Day and I am Executive Principal of all four schools with Springwell Learning Community Lincolnshire. We are incredibly proud of the opportunities we are able to provide to support our pupils to move successfully on to the next stage of their education.

At Springwell our values are fundamental to everything we do. We believe in second chances, trauma informed practice, unconditional positive regard and a culture of nurture and support. Our aim is to work with our pupils to identify their needs and provide the best possible opportunities for all our pupils to develop and thrive in a climate of support, guidance and authentic care. We value the support of all of our families and believe that if we work in partnership, understand the collective challenges and face them together then we can really make a difference.
