About Queen Margaret Primary Academy

Queen Margaret Primary Academy in Tewkesbury is a school that local families are clearly keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 31 applications for just 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.35, and all 23 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That level of demand suggests parents in the area see something worthwhile here, even though the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it as Requires Improvement overall. The parent-view data isn’t available in the school’s published information, so it’s hard to gauge direct satisfaction levels, but the oversubscription figures alone indicate that Queen Margaret holds a strong local reputation. With 147 pupils against a capacity of 210, the school is operating below its maximum, so there is room for growth, but the fact that it’s oversubscribed for Reception suggests the current cohort is particularly popular.
