Do not send your kids here if you love them
Teachers defend bullies and not the victims. Don't take action against bullying until someone gets hurt but even then they do the bare minimum. Got bullied/ harassed by 2 Teachers. Going to this school should be classed as a torture method because it felt like it. 2 kids in my year took their lives because of bullying/the lack of support. I almost made it a 3rd

I ? LCA
I ? LCA I went here class of 24 honestly sad to leave this amazing place. Every day i looked forward to going there and i will miss it so much. I will certainly miss teachers such as Mrs Johnson and the whole english department in general. There has been some disappointing moments in this school but it is definitely on the uprise. The 3rd floor may be coming down and we may have had pedo teachers such as santa claus talking to year 8's but its fine because we got pizza for going to after school clubs class i cant lie. But yeah generally quite a good school in a few short years the fantastic Mr Hanson will have improved the school to a standard that surpasses the level of every other school in the county Will miss all the memories BIG UP DELTA UP THE LCA ??

Cameras inside the children's toilets
Awful school when it comes to safety and date protection they fail. Their top priority is to punish all the children all the time. Many of them now are too scared to go into school to learn. I feel they do not care at all they lie and ignore any complaint and run it like a prison. If they are never lessons how will they ever learn? Also their are cameras in the male and female toilets and they are accessed by 3 males very concerning what they do with this footage. Over all I give it 0 out of 10...

Bad school
Teachers are bad. My experience was bad. A teacher named after 'the truegen horse' is terrible. No one in the right mind will send their kids here. Delta isn't changing any thing and probably never will.

Discusted
I went to this school in early 70s so decided to send my 12year old boy here as its still nearest to us I carnt belive how this school has turned into such a poor place to send my boy they don't seem interested in teaching just in dishing out detentions isolation days and suspensions for just minor things like uniform compliance back chat and lateness my child does have A. D. D and says what he thinks which they do not like no consideration if given for this and he is almost always in isolation now I'm looking for another school.As he is now refusing to attend This school is run more like a prison camp

If your thinking of taking your child don't do it.the teachers are bullies and children are isolated off for next to nothing it's ridiculous spoke to many parents and allot are moving their kids to Christ school as soon as theirs places I'll also be moving mine . Rude staff with no care.

don’t send ur kids here !
Awful school awful teachers. They tolerate bullying i got bullied for nearly 2 years at that school and the pastoral team allowed it and said “you obviously did something to deserve it” Miss howlett is one of the most inappropriate teachers there. She repeatedly talks about children’s genitals and bullies them telling them they won’t amount to anything. They don’t treat the students properly they treat them like animals and give the ones they don’t like horrible treatment

Very good
My favourite school, will definitely enjoy the rest of this year and the other 3 years here at LCA!

Year 9 student
It depends between good and bad because you get your work done but at the same time if someone has a scrap/fight with someone else and that person started it the other one is just told to keep hands and feet to themselves and just stand there or walk away after being seriously injured instead of defending themself and then the police get involved after the fights happen over land or money and it is bull crap and it will either cost someone’s life or a lot of attempted murders in school and u th...

I’m being scammed
I was feeling abit peckish, and I fanced chicken and chips, delicious, I got the food, a Radnor fizz and one for my mate, and a biscuit, the meal deal is the meal but a water instead. I though this isn’t a big deal so I went to the till, the lady said it wasn’t in the meal deal and that the drinks (which is the size or smaller than a can of coke) was £1.10 THE DRINKS ARENT EVEN THAT GOOD. So I was going to pay £4.20 for oven chips, 2 very small drinks and a biscuit. I’m not being funny, but that’s out of order. The meal deal only allows water. So they why would you sell drinks that are smaller. For more money, it’s about a quarter of the size. Oh and I queen the learning is good.

Completely unacceptable standards
I am not gonna say what year I am in but my experiences with this school are completely unacceptable they don’t know how to deal with behaviour and the amount of substitutes they have is terrible and the amount of teaches that leave each month I’m disappointed how things have changed since Mr Hanson became principal most of people i speak to wonder how would this school be if Mr Hanson and Mrs Halpin never became this terrible school head teachers there are plenary of good things about this school but the amount of bad things way overpower the good stuff I really feel bad for the new year 7s joining in September I can’t believe that a school can be this bad it’s completely unacceptable for a child to come here so before you think on sending your child here make sure you know what happens on the inside

Lincoln Castle Academy isn't recommended for:
Student there, lack of communication and control. And very mixed morals. Not recommended, if there is any chance at safety it's at another school.
- Former Student4.025 November 2022
good school
Mr Handson let us watch the world cup in school. In my opinion, he is one of the best head teacher this school has had in years.
- Student1.05 November 2022
It's a joke
Worse school in lincoln. Don't go here, its awful. Not a place anyone in their right mind should be. The headtecaher avoids the parents and is just making the school worse

YR8 student
This school is very bad. Teachers will not do anything but keep the good children back after lesson as they “are troublemakers” there are multiple teachers I could list that have a very poor understanding of learning . As I’m only in my second year I have to have 2 more years of hell . PARENTS DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE, YOU WILL REGRET IT

Don’t send your kids here.
Horrific school. Genuinely the worst years of my life. I was at LCA from year 7 to around a month into year 11 before dropping out due to mental health issues. Mental health issues that the school did absolutely nothing to help and instead punished me for missing school. Even better, when I actually was in, I would constantly be in isolation for no reason. Bullying has always been an issue that the school fails to notice or address, and it’s led to horrific consequences before. It is genuinely s...

Horrible school
This school is by far the worst school in lincoln the teachers can't teach and do nothing against bullying. They give out detentions for short trousers and untucked shirts you even get a detention for wearing coats inside now. And don't get me started on food. I can say that as a year 8 in this school.
- Former Student1.020 August 2022
Shit school
Teachers labelled me as a troublemaker when I was getting bullied. Got jumped multiple times and teachers did nothing. The staff don't care unless you're a popular student. The uniform is ridiculous strict, people have been sent home due to ankles been shown etc.

Do not send kids to LCA
Worse school ever in Lincoln, fights every week. Care more about uniform, and stupid school polices,
- Parent1.06 June 2022
Worse than poor!!
This school is by far the worse Senior School in Lincoln. No leadership, no discipline, fights nearly everyday of the week with police attending the school at least once a week. Bullying a very big problem and staff are rubbish at sorting issues out, in fact they don’t want to know! . Do not send your child

Awful
Does not help with bullying nor mental illnesses

Current Year 10 Student
This school cannot simple handle the students, the rude students get away with anything and get treated so much better to try and "help" them while students who care and are trying to improve their education get pushed aside and ignored. There are very few teachers who seem to actually know how to control and teach a whole class. The school is more bothered about seeing girls ankles than sorting out the school, sorting out the issue and sorting out everything that needs fixing. It puts students in isolations and disturbs their learning because of trouser length when you can see an inch of ankle on tall girls who cannot physically get longer trousers. The school need to sort it self out and fix the things that actually need fixing.

The school with its ups and downs
Personally I think this school is OK. I'm currently in my second to final year here and I have to say its been happy but stressful.. The teachers however don't really help you when you need it however. They seem to have favourites and some teachers also come across as very homophobic.
