About Elmbridge Primary School

Elmbridge Primary School in Gloucester holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections, including the ungraded visit in 2023 which confirmed the school remains on an improving trajectory. The most telling academic metric for this large primary is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 58% of pupils met the expected standard across all three subjects, which sits just one percentage point below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59%. This places the school 11th out of 25 primary schools within Gloucester itself, putting it in the middle of the local pack. While the combined expected figure is solid, the proportion reaching the higher standard is notably low at just 6%, suggesting the school is effective at getting most children to a baseline but less so at stretching the highest achievers.
