Lyndon Green Infant School

About Lyndon Green Infant School

Lyndon Green Infant School is a popular choice among Birmingham families, and the numbers tell a clear story. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 163 applications for just 61 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.67. That means nearly three families applied for every available spot. Of those, 57 were first-preference applications, and all 57 received offers, suggesting that for parents who put it top of their list, the odds were very good. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 5 to 7, with no nursery provision. Headteacher Siobhan Moran leads a school that currently has 261 pupils, just shy of its capacity of 282. While the Department for Education does not publish a formal parent view score for this school, the high demand for places is a strong signal that local families hold it in high regard.

Academically, Lyndon Green Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most recent inspection, an ungraded visit in April 2024, confirmed the school 'remains Good', though with a note of 'Concerns' flagged under the S5 Next framework. The previous graded inspection in October 2014 gave top marks of Good across the board: overall effectiveness, early years provision, leadership and management all scored 2 on the four-point scale. Because this is an infant school, there are no Key Stage 2 SATs results to report; children leave at age 7 after Year 2. For context, the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment across Birmingham primary schools is 63 per cent, but this metric applies to older pupils and does not directly reflect infant school performance.

The school offers a solid range of facilities for its young pupils, including a sports hall, ICT suite, music rooms, art studios, and a forest school area. There is also a chapel on site. Sports on offer include netball, athletics, tennis, rounders, and swimming, while after-school clubs range from chess and gardening to eco club, choir, film club, and book club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school provides support for moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication difficulties, and autistic spectrum disorder, plus a resourced provision. With an oversubscription ratio of 2.67, this is a school that suits families who are confident it is their first choice and who apply early. It is a good fit for parents looking for a well-regarded infant school with strong SEND support and a broad range of enrichment activities within a short walk of home.
