About Lakefield CofE Primary School

Lakefield CofE Primary School is a state-funded Church of England primary in Stroud, Gloucestershire, currently educating 197 pupils against a capacity of 210.

The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.7%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 13%, suggesting a broadly mixed intake. The school has nursery provision for children aged three and above, and it is mixed-gender throughout.
