About Lydgate Infant School

Lydgate Infant School is a popular choice among Sheffield families, and the numbers tell a clear story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 233 applications for just 110 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.12. Of those, 108 families put Lydgate as their first preference, and 108 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who wanted it most got a place. That level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth among local parents, though the school does not publish a formal parent-view survey percentage. Headteacher Dewi Bromage leads a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 5 to 7, with 345 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360. The school is not oversubscribed to the point of turning away local families, but the ratio shows it is comfortably full and well-regarded in the community.
