About Old Sodbury Church of England Primary School

Old Sodbury Church of England Primary School sits within the South Gloucestershire local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 5 to 11. Among the 93 same-type schools in the area, it ranks 40th, placing it just inside the bottom half of the LA’s primary schools. The top-performing peers locally include Hambrook Primary School, Marshfield Church of England Primary School, and Frampton Cotterell Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric. The school is led by headteacher Bernice Webber and has a Church of England religious character, though it is a state-funded school. With 103 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it is operating very close to full. The school is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 45 applications for just 15 places, with 14 of those going to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even if its ranking doesn’t place it among the LA’s elite.
