About Mount Street Academy

Mount Street Academy is a primary school in Lincoln that serves children from age three to seven, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good overall. The school's performance stands out against the local authority average for Key Stage 2, which sits at 57, though it's worth noting that Mount Street Academy is an infant school and therefore its pupils don't sit KS2 SATs, so a direct comparison isn't possible. What is clear from the data is that the school is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 140 applications for just 72 places, with 69 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.94, meaning nearly two families apply for every available spot. The school also has a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 25.2%, which suggests it serves a diverse catchment area.
