Leonard Stanley Church of England Primary School
About Leonard Stanley Church of England Primary School
Leonard Stanley Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, currently home to 198 children against a capacity of 210. That leaves a little breathing room, but the demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 13 places, with 12 of those offers going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 4.69 to 1 signals a school that local families are keen to get into, even though it’s not the largest in the area. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14.1%, which is a useful benchmark for context — it’s slightly above the national primary average of around 12-13%, suggesting a broadly representative intake for a village school in Stroud. The school has a Church of England character and a nursery provision, so it caters for children from the earliest years through to Year 6, with a headteacher, Andrew Milner, at the helm.
