About Charlton Kings Junior School

Charlton Kings Junior School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 outcomes, with 72% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with 59% across Gloucestershire primary schools. That thirteen-point gap is a meaningful one, placing the school in the top quarter nationally and fourth out of 22 primaries within Cheltenham itself. The school is oversubscribed, with 376 pupils on roll against a capacity of 372, which suggests local families are voting with their feet. Its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2023 judged the school to be 'Good' and 'Improving', a continuation of the same rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. Headteacher Rebecca Andrews leads a school that is clearly delivering above-average outcomes for its age range of 7 to 11.
