About Alexander Hosea Primary School

Alexander Hosea Primary School is a state primary in South Gloucestershire that is currently running very close to full capacity, with 222 pupils against a school capacity of 225. The school serves a community where 9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 52 applications for just 30 places, with 36 of those applications coming from first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 1.73 indicates a school that local parents are actively choosing, and the fact that all 30 first-preference offers were taken up confirms it is a popular option in the area. The school is non-denominational, with no religious character, and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, so it is purely a primary school for children aged 4 to 11.
