Outstanding Year 11 Results at Lincoln Castle Academy

Following a year of disruption, Year 11 students at Lincoln Castle Academy have secured outstanding GCSE and vocational results.  Students achieved a record number of top grades, with the academy’s Attainment 8 figure increasing further this year to 4.4, an average increase of half a grade.

Teacher-assessed grades saw record numbers of students achieving a standard basic pass in Maths and English at 60% while 34% achieved a strong basic pass in both.

76% of Year 11s recorded a standard level 4 pass in English, with 55% achieving the strong grade 5 or above.  In Maths, 66% reached level 4 with 37% achieving grade 5 or higher.

The majority of Lincoln Castle Academy students now begin their Level 3 studies in our Sixth Form whilst other students progress into employment or apprenticeships.

Mrs Laming congratulated all Year 11s on their achievements. “This year group experienced unimaginable disruption, not only through several lockdowns but also during periods of self-isolation.  Students had to learn to work in new ways and continuously adapt.  This year group demonstrated incredible resilience and hard work.  They produced robust portfolios of evidence which were then moderated and scrutinised.  I am incredibly proud of them and the character they have demonstrated.

I would also like to thank parents and carers for the support given to their child and their commitment to the partnership between home and school during this challenging time.

During this unprecedented year, I would also like to pay tribute to the Lincoln Castle Academy staff.  The entire team of teaching and support staff worked incredibly hard in challenging circumstances.  They adapted the curriculum, developed new approaches to teaching and continued to provide consistent pastoral care for all students whether in the academy or through remote learning.  During the past 18 months we have had to overcome some extraordinary challenges; I am enormously grateful for the commitment to ensure students achieved their potential.”
