Coney Hill Community Primary School
About Coney Hill Community Primary School
Coney Hill Community Primary School in Gloucester is a state primary that is running very close to full capacity, with 209 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 30.6%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and signals a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 120 applications for just 30 places, with 42 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at four applications per place, and the school was oversubscribed, making it a competitive choice for local families. The school is mixed, non-religious, and caters for children from age 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. It sits within the Gloucestershire local authority and is led by headteacher Danielle Brayshaw.
