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
THE SCHOOL IS SHIT
I hate this school I struggle everyday of the year and no one can help me I’m stuck in between others drama and can’t seem the escape I want things to be how they used to be now all I do is sit in my room and cry alone or fake smile and I don’t know who my real freinds are there’s this bitch who really has it out for me ever since we met I have tried everything to be their friend but they leave me out of everything and take all my freinds away from me and now I don’t think even my freinds like me anymore thanks to that bitch I hate this school so much it has ruined my life
Lincoln castle academy is poor.
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 then end up in jail for defending yourself against the aggressor and it is ridiculous and now that delta is around today it will be much worse in school and it will turn into a living nightmare and it is not good but it depends in the future years of my life here and ps the croissants are to die for there are plain but good to not starve to death over at the time
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.
Grr it's awfuullll
It's awfully bad please don't go there
dont go here
this school it the worst thing i have ever been to all the teacher leave and most of them even said to the us that its because they hate the school all the covers are untrained and they cant bother to train all the cover properly one in my geography lesson i have a cover that when a student asked him for a pen he threw one at the student but when he did a terrible throw he said "i failed in life im a mess" and that same geography teacher when he sat on the chair he broke the floor need to say were are on the second floor and alson more dammage in my geography classroom there is a massive hole erodeing in the roof from all this mold the extra curiculum is so boring that they bribe the students with pizza to come and some teacher even say that if you dont go you will get a c4 (detention) another story that a cover has done was an old man looked like santa he was always so nice and happy in school during lessons but after school he would always go up to year 8s and ask them for their number or snapchat or instagram and he was sectretly doing inapropiate thing during school times this school has failed the past 2 ofsted reports this school has been hopping in and out of trusts the school wasted almost £2.25 million on grass and said if you stepped on it you got a detention i cant belive when i was younger i was so eager to go to this secondary school so many fights happen that we named the science corodor the scrapador because that is where most of the scraps (fights) happen the students do nothign in lesson the school is teaching us nothing
No Not the school for me
I dont really like this school i have been here for way to long the teachers cant control the classes there are way to many fights the food is awful sometimes itf not even cooked properly but the kitchen staff refuese that becuse they dont want to be overshown by what they say as a bunch of children but im hoping for the time i have left here they manage to turn it around
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.
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.
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 shocking that this school is still running.
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.
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,
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
Bad school
Bad environment
Student who need extra help don't get it
The gcse results for this school this year will be embarrassing

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.
Lincoln castle academy is bad
Most teachers lie and play favourism they don't care about kids mental health and they are really rude.most the kids are nice but the rest bully and teachers do nothing about it. But it's a good school for learning when your not distracted by things teachers are meant to help u with
Brilliant
Absolutely Banging school. 100% recommend it most teachers are amazing some students are annoying but overall not too bad a welcoming school.
The terrible school Lincoln Castle Academy
All the teachers lie about what people do if they dont like them plus if they do like you your part of a minority you get away with anything I saw someone get beat up & the LGBTQ kid that started the fight got away with it & the staff is unorganised I got in 2 lessons at the same time because the teacher in charge forgot that they already wrote my name down also my form tutor forgot to give me my free school meal so I didn't eat all day!

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 🙌😉
