About St Chad's Patchway CofE Primary School
St Chad's Patchway CofE Primary School is a Church of England primary in South Gloucestershire that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 65 applications for just 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.1. Only 13 of those applications were first-preference offers, meaning the school is popular but not everyone who wants it gets in on their first choice. Parent satisfaction is not formally measured here, but the high demand suggests a positive reputation in the community. The school is rated Good by Ofsted overall, with standout Outstanding grades for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes in its most recent inspection in June 2024.
