Gotherington Primary School
Cheltenham, GL52 9QT · Gloucestershire · primary school
102nd 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 4,028 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 5.3/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8 out of 10 among them, against 5.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join an after-school club and participate in skateboarding, ultimate frisbee, and tri-golf. There is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 201 pupils in a capacity of 202 places, leaving just 1 spare place. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new admissions? Since the school lacks a breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents who need early morning care? How does the curriculum support pupils who are not yet reaching the higher standard in core subjects?
