Staple Hill Primary School
About Staple Hill Primary School
Staple Hill Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in South Gloucestershire, currently educating 298 pupils against a capacity of 315, so it is running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 28.5%, which is notably higher than the national primary average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 112 applications for just 44 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 2.55. Of those 112 applicants, 37 were first-preference offers, indicating that while the school is popular, many families who put it first were successful. The school has a non-religious character and no nursery provision, so it takes children from Reception through to Year 6. Its headteacher is Sharon Boult, who has been in post since at least the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022.
