About Leckhampton Church of England Primary School

Leckhampton Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a step down from the Outstanding grade it achieved in its previous inspection back in 2008. That said, the inspection report itself tells a more nuanced story: inspectors rated both personal development and behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding, while quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management were all judged Good. On the academic front, the school’s most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 76%. That figure puts Leckhampton well above the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59% for primary schools, and it ranks 3rd out of 22 schools in Cheltenham. Nationally, it places in the top 18% of all primary schools, and within the South West region it sits in the top 14%.
