About Warden Hill Primary School

Warden Hill Primary School sits within Gloucestershire’s primary landscape, a state-funded, mixed-gender school for children aged 4 to 11 in Cheltenham. In the local authority’s Cheltenham rankings, it places 10th out of 22 primary schools, putting it just inside the top half of its immediate peers. The school’s ranking score of 61 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though it’s worth noting that the top-performing schools in the area — Meysey Hampton Church of England Primary School, Temple Guiting Church of England School, and Thrupp School — all sit at the very top of the local leaderboard. Warden Hill is a popular choice: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 199 applications for 60 places, with 52 of those going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 3.32 to 1 tells you this is a school local parents actively want, even if its raw ranking doesn’t put it among the elite.
