What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

Lincoln Christ's Hospital School is caring and welcoming. Pupils enjoy learning here and feel well supported. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The school provides a broad and ambitious curriculum for all. Most pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. The school's values of perseverance, respect, optimism, unity and determination (PROUD) help pupils to understand what is expected of them. Pupils appreciate being rewarded by the school for meeting these expectations. For example, they go on reward trips and receive PROUD badges, which they wear with delight. The school is calm and orderly. Most pupils behave well in lessons and at breaktimes. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that they have staff who they can talk to if they have concerns. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. The school provides many opportunities to develop pupils' character and interests. Pupils enjoy taking part in the school production and public speaking events. Pupils are also proud to take on leadership opportunities, for example, by being school ambassadors and part of the school council. There is a range of extra-curricular activities that many pupils enjoy attending, such as sports clubs, chess and gardening club.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not produce high-quality written work. They do not spell key words correctly or use correct punctuation. Some teachers do not address these errors with pupils. As a result, some pupils do not develop their writing skills as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers have high expectations of the work pupils produce so that pupils know how to spell key words and use punctuation correctly.
