About Mangotsfield School

Mangotsfield School is a mixed state secondary for 11 to 16 year olds in South Gloucestershire, currently led by headteacher Hetty Blackmore. With 1,158 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,200, the school is running very close to full, and the demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 544 applications for 255 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.13. Of those, 197 families put it as their first preference, and 191 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.8 per cent, which is notably above the national average for secondary schools and suggests a catchment with higher-than-average levels of disadvantage. The school does not have a sixth form or nursery provision, and it is not a boarding school.
