About Ashton Gate Primary School

Ashton Gate Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Bristol families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 234 applications for just 114 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.05. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and all 109 first-preference applicants were offered a place. While the school does not publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, this level of demand speaks volumes about its reputation in the community. The school is led by headteacher Gareth Jones and is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11. It currently has 751 pupils on roll, comfortably within its capacity of 840, and just over 10% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools.
