About Ann Cam Church of England Primary School

Ann Cam Church of England Primary School in the Forest of Dean holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — all judged Good. That consistency is worth noting, especially given the school’s previous inspection in 2013 also rated it Good overall. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths: 56% of pupils hit that benchmark. That’s just three percentage points below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59%, placing Ann Cam 16th out of 39 primary schools in the Forest of Dean district. Nationally, the school sits in the bottom half of the rankings, but within its immediate area it’s a solidly mid-table performer.
