About Upton St Leonards Church of England Primary School

Upton St Leonards Church of England Primary School is a state primary in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and it is a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 422 pupils on roll, it is essentially full to its capacity of 420, and the demand is striking: for 59 places available in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 201 applications, an oversubscription ratio of 3.41. Of those, 73 put it as their first preference, and only 54 first-preference offers were made. The school’s intake is less disadvantaged than the national average, with 10.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared with a typical primary figure of around 23% nationally. This is a Church of England school, so its religious character will be a factor for some families, but the sheer volume of applications suggests its reputation extends well beyond the immediate congregation.
