About Lound Junior School

Lound Junior School is a state primary in Sheffield for children aged 7 to 11, currently home to 200 pupils against a capacity of 228. That leaves a modest amount of headroom, though the school’s popularity is worth noting: 17% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a genuinely mixed intake. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, with Sarah Palmer as headteacher. Demand appears healthy — the school sits at 88% capacity, and while the data doesn’t give precise admission oversubscription figures, the fact that it isn’t full to the brim suggests it’s a solid local option rather than a pressured first-choice for every family. The pupil body is drawn from a broad catchment, and the FSM proportion indicates the school serves a community with above-average economic diversity compared with the most affluent Sheffield primaries.
