Lyndon Green Infant School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 74 families put Lyndon Green Infant School as their first choice and 185 named it as one of their preferences, for 77 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 92 in 2021 to 74 in 2026, while places went from 89 to 77.
Across Birmingham, 92% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Birmingham lodged 382 appeals against primary school offers; 241 reached a hearing and 24 succeeded (10% of those heard).
