About Gretton Primary School

Gretton Primary School is a small state primary in Tewkesbury that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.6. Nine of those applications were first-preference choices, and nine first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. That level of demand is a strong signal from local parents, though the school does not publish a formal parent satisfaction survey or recommend percentage. With 91 pupils on roll against a capacity of 103, the school is running close to full, and the headteacher, Adam Sallis, leads a mixed-gender, non-religious primary for children aged 4 to 11. It is not a boarding school and does not offer nursery provision, so all pupils join in Reception.
