About Coopers Edge School
Coopers Edge School is a popular choice among local families, with 47 out of 50 places offered to first-preference applicants in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school was oversubscribed, receiving 92 total applications for its 50 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.84. While the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, this level of demand suggests strong local confidence. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, located in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and has no religious character. It was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with all inspected areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — each receiving a Good rating. This represents a consistent performance compared with its previous inspection in 2018, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good, though early years provision had been graded as Requires Improvement at that time.
