About Bussage Church of England Primary School

Bussage Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Stroud, Gloucestershire, with a current roll of 187 pupils against a capacity of 210, leaving some physical headroom but plenty of demand pressure. Just 7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average and suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school is clearly popular: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 57 applications for 30 places, with 31 of those as first preferences, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 1.9 to one. Of those first-preference families, 29 received an offer, so securing a place is far from guaranteed. The school’s Church of England character and its location in a village setting likely drive much of this appeal, though the data doesn’t specify catchment or faith criteria. With a mixed, co-educational intake from ages 4 to 11, it serves a community that is both locally rooted and actively choosing this school over others.
