Infant school

Ages 3–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Green Lane Infant 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.

About Green Lane Infant School

Green Lane Infant School is a primary school in Leicester, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 292 pupils aged 3 to 7 attend the school.

Green Lane Infant School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 53 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.8%. There are about 18.6 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Green Lane Infant 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.
