About Linchfield Academy

Linchfield Academy has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2019 when it was judged Inadequate. Every graded area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — now sits at Good. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 61% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits above the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally, at the 55th percentile. It is a solid, above-average outcome that suggests the school is delivering consistent progress for its pupils.
