About Sherborne Church of England Primary School
Sherborne Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, with a published capacity of just 56 places for children aged 4 to 11. That makes it one of the most intimate school settings you’ll find in the county, and the fact that it operates as a single-form entry Church of England school means demand can be keen among local families who value a close-knit, faith-based environment. The school’s admission information does not indicate oversubscription figures, but its size alone suggests that securing a place may depend on catchment area and church connection. Free school meal eligibility data is not provided in the school’s profile, so it is not possible to compare its intake disadvantage level against the national or local average. What is clear is that the school serves a predominantly rural community in Gloucestershire, and its small roll means each child is likely to be well known to staff. The headteacher, John Moore, leads a team that has maintained a consistent Good rating from Ofsted across two inspections, most recently in 2023.
