Located in Gloucestershire, Churchdown Village Junior School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 231 pupils aged 7 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection.

The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 2.09 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.0%. There are about 16.9 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
