About Rednock School

Rednock School is a mixed secondary and sixth form in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and it’s a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 353 applications for 216 places, making it officially oversubscribed. Of those, 231 were first-preference applications, and 210 first-preference offers were made, which suggests that while demand is strong, most families who put it first do get a spot. The school currently has 1,232 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,408, so there is some headroom, but the oversubscription ratio of 1. 63 per place shows it’s not a school you can take for granted. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18. 5%, which is above the national average for secondary schools and gives the school a genuinely mixed intake. That’s worth noting for parents who want a comprehensive that reflects the wider community rather than a narrow demographic.
