About Charlton Wood Primary Academy

Charlton Wood Primary Academy is a school that local parents clearly have their eye on. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 118 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Of those, 79 families put it as their first preference, and all 59 first-preference offers were taken up. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, and it's backed up by the parent experience: in its most recent Ofsted inspection, the school earned top marks for behaviour and attitudes, and for early years provision, both rated Outstanding. The overall effectiveness is Good, with leadership and management, quality of education, and personal development all rated Good too. For a state primary in South Gloucestershire, where only five out of 93 schools hold an Outstanding rating, Charlton Wood's Good grade with Outstanding elements is a solid signal.
