About Hope Brook CofE Primary School

Hope Brook CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Forest of Dean that is genuinely oversubscribed. With 122 pupils on roll against a capacity of 119, the school is effectively full, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 38 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.38. All 16 first-preference applicants received an offer, but the numbers suggest that families further down the preference list will face competition. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.3%, which is notably below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23%) and suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. The school offers nursery provision for children from age three, feeding into the main school through to Year 6. It is a mixed, state-funded primary with a Church of England religious character, and the headteacher is Rosie Marks.
