Infant school

Ages 3–7

Key Stage 2 performance

The Lancaster School is an infant school for pupils aged 3–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put The Lancaster School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About The Lancaster School

The Lancaster School is a primary school in Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. Around 101 pupils aged 3 to 7 attend the school.

The Lancaster School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 26 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.6%. There are about 14.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 61% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. The Lancaster School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
