About Grange Lane Infant Academy

Grange Lane Infant Academy in Doncaster received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2023, a significant step up from its previous Good grade in 2015. The inspection team awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all came out as Outstanding. That puts the school in a small group — only four out of 98 primary schools in the Doncaster local authority currently hold the top rating. The school is an infant academy, taking children from age two to seven, and has a nursery on site. With 262 pupils on roll against a capacity of 282, it is running close to full, and the 2025/26 admissions data shows it is oversubscribed: 81 applications for 60 places, with all 60 first-preference applicants offered a spot.
