About Churcham Primary School

Churcham Primary School sits within Gloucestershire’s Forest of Dean area, a small village primary with just 46 pupils on its roll against a capacity of 56. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it places 37th out of 39 schools, placing it in the bottom tier for combined Key Stage 2 outcomes. The top-performing peers in the same local authority include Meysey Hampton Church of England Primary School, Temple Guiting Church of England School, and Thrupp School, all of which achieved the highest possible ranking scores. Churcham’s ranking reflects a school that serves a very small, rural cohort, and its position in the local landscape is one of a community-focused setting rather than an academic powerhouse. The school is led by headteacher Mark Davies and has no religious character, nursery provision, or sixth form. It is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 4 to 11.
