About Blockley Church of England Primary School

Blockley Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 45 applications for just 19 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.37. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and all 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place. Parent satisfaction appears strong, though the school does not publish a formal parent-view recommendation percentage. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 5 to 11, with a Church of England character and a current roll of 144 pupils, slightly above its official capacity of 140. Headteacher Ann Barry leads a school that was rated Good across all categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023, with inspectors noting Good provision for early years, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership. The previous inspection in 2010 also rated the school Good overall, so the school has maintained a consistent standard over time.
