About Charborough Road Primary School

Charborough Road Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in South Gloucestershire, currently home to 253 pupils against a capacity of 271, meaning it operates with a small amount of spare space. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14.6%, a figure that gives a sense of the school’s intake in the local context. Demand for places is notably strong: for the 2025/26 admission round, the school received 73 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. Of those, 43 families put it as their first preference, and 29 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that while the school is popular, not every family who wants a place gets one. The school has a nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it serves the full primary age range up to 11. Matt Lankester is the headteacher, and the school has no religious character.
