About Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy

Lynch Hill Enterprise Academy is a mixed secondary school in Slough, a local authority where academic performance is generally strong — the average Progress 8 score across the borough sits at 0.32, well above the national baseline. The school itself, however, ranks 11th out of 12 secondary schools in Slough on this key measure, placing it in the bottom percentile locally. For context, the top-performing peers in the area include Eden Girls' School, Slough, St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School, and Upton Court Grammar School, all of which achieve significantly higher Progress 8 scores. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Herschel Grammar School, just 1.6 kilometres away. Lynch Hill's most recent graded inspection, in 2025, judged its overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, though inspectors noted that behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management are all Good. The school has held a Requires Improvement rating across both its recent inspections, with the previous one in 2023 also giving the same overall label.
