About Lound Infant School

Lound Infant School, a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in Sheffield, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2015. The school has held a Good overall effectiveness and Good leadership and management since its graded inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. Early years provision is also rated Good. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results because its pupils leave at age 7 before that assessment point, the local authority average for KS2 attainment across Sheffield primary schools is 57, providing a useful benchmark for parents considering their child’s next step. The school’s Progress 8 or A-Level data is not available, as it is a primary school without a sixth form.
