About Temple Guiting Church of England School

Temple Guiting Church of England School is a small primary in the Cotswolds, currently home to 100 pupils against a capacity of 105, so it’s running very close to full. Just 5% of its students qualify for free school meals, well below the national average, reflecting the relatively affluent local catchment. The school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 37 applications for just 15 places, with 20 of those applicants putting it as their first preference. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.47, meaning nearly two and a half families compete for every spot. The headteacher is Ann Barry, and the school has a Church of England character, which may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting. With its small roll and strong local reputation, this is a school where places are hard to come by, and early application is essential.
