Grangefield Primary School
About Grangefield Primary School
Grangefield Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 185 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.08. Of those applications, 75 were first-preference choices, and 54 of those families received an offer. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Tewkesbury area. The school is led by headteacher Gemma Kydd and currently has 421 pupils on roll, just one over its stated capacity of 420. It is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11 with no religious character. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high application numbers and first-preference conversion rate are a clear signal that many families see it as their top local option.
