Mickleton Primary School
About Mickleton Primary School
Mickleton Primary School is a state primary in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, currently educating 196 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it runs close to full but with a small margin of spare places. Its intake reflects a notably higher-than-average level of disadvantage: 20.4% of pupils qualify for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23% and a local authority average that tends to be lower in this affluent area. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 50 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. Of those, 26 were first-preference applications, and 26 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that nearly every family who put it first secured a spot. The school is led by headteacher Tom Roberts and has no religious character, nursery provision, or sixth form, catering strictly for children aged 5 to 11.
