Cold Aston Church of England Primary School
Cheltenham, GL54 3BN · Gloucestershire · primary school
6th of 219 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 242 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 1,194 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.1/10 among them, against 9.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 83.0 · 92 | 62% | 5.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 38% | 3.35 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 17.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.1 out of 10 among them, against 9.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a mock trial club or work in the allotment, while sports options include netball, multi sports, and cross country. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 55 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 50 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What does the after-school provision look like for children who need care until the end of the day? How do teachers manage class sizes that are significantly below the school’s capacity?
