About Dinglewell Junior School

Dinglewell Junior School sits within the Gloucestershire local authority, a large county with 243 primary schools. Among them, it ranks 56th, placing it comfortably in the top quarter locally. Its ranking score of 69 puts it behind the very top performers in the area — Meysey Hampton Church of England Primary School and Temple Guiting Church of England School both score 100, and Thrupp School scores 95 — but Dinglewell holds its own as a solid, well-regarded option for families in Gloucester. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 7 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Geraldine Brogan and operates at near-full capacity, with 359 pupils against a capacity of 360. For families looking for a school with a strong local reputation but without the pressure of the highest-ranked peers, Dinglewell offers a balanced choice.
