About Mitcheldean Endowed Primary School

Mitcheldean Endowed Primary School is a Church of England primary in the Forest of Dean, and it is currently full to the brim. With 210 pupils on roll matching its exact capacity of 210, there is no spare space, and the demand is clear: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 56 applications for just 30 places, making it officially oversubscribed. All 30 first-preference families were offered a spot, but the oversubscription ratio of 1.87 means nearly two families applied for every place. The school serves a community with a higher-than-average level of disadvantage; 20% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 24% and the Gloucestershire average of roughly 17%. This suggests a mixed intake with a significant proportion of children from lower-income households, and the school’s ability to fill every seat while turning away applicants points to strong local reputation.
