About Dinglewell Infant School

Dinglewell Infant School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 202 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.37. Of those, 54 families put Dinglewell as their first preference, and all 54 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Gloucester area, though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage in its data. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender infant school for children aged 5 to 7, with no nursery provision. It has a current roll of 252 pupils, just under its capacity of 270, and a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 6.3 per cent. The headteacher is Jemma Southgate.
