About Lincoln Carlton Academy

Lincoln Carlton Academy is a state primary school in Lincoln, part of the Lincolnshire local authority, and it holds a strong position among its local peers. Ranked 2nd out of 16 primary schools in the Lincoln area, it sits just behind the top-performing Quadring Cowley & Brown's Primary School, with Deeping St Nicholas Primary School and The Tydd St Mary Church of England Primary School also among the top three in the local context. The school is led by headteacher Rebecca Malam and caters to 417 pupils aged 4 to 11, operating very close to its full capacity of 420. It is a mixed, non-religious school, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 judged it Good across all areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This marks a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2015, but the school remains a solid choice in a competitive local landscape.
