Mangotsfield Church of England Primary School
About Mangotsfield Church of England Primary School
Mangotsfield Church of England Primary School is a large state primary in South Gloucestershire, currently home to 620 pupils against a capacity of 630, meaning it runs very close to full. Its intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with just 7.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals compared with the typical primary figure of around 23%. The school is a Church of England voluntary controlled school, which may shape its ethos and admissions criteria, though it is open to all. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 158 applications for 86 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.84, with 76 of those applications coming as first preferences. That means only 76 first-preference families secured a place, leaving many others disappointed. The school is one of just five primaries in the local authority rated Outstanding by Ofsted, out of 93 schools in total, which goes some way to explaining the competition for places.
