Science and the Arts on the increase at Lincoln Academy!

Students at The Priory City of Lincoln Academy sitting their GCSE examinations in June 2019 have proved that hard work pays off. The Academy has embraced the new suite of GCSEs and vocational courses which has resulted in some truly outstanding results for our students.

Yet again progress and attainment have risen across the vast majority of subjects with most noticeable achievements in GCSE Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Art and Music, where an increasing number of students have achieved both top and pass grades. Students taking vocational subjects continue to flourish at Lincoln Academy with Health and Social Care, Business, Hospitality and Engineering at the forefront of grades nationally. English and Maths continue to achieve well, with amazing improvements in English Literature grades this year.
