About Hatherop Church of England Primary School

Hatherop Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, currently educating 86 pupils against a capacity of 84, meaning it is effectively full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.3%, which is below the national average and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 28 applications for just 10 places, with 9 of those being first-preference applications. This gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.8, a clear signal that local families are keen to secure a spot. The school’s Church of England character and its setting in a rural village likely contribute to its appeal, though the data shows it is not the only popular choice in the area — nearby Fairford Church of England Primary School, 3.4 km away, holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating.
