Every child who put Avening Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Avening Primary School at a glance

Located in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, Avening Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 107 pupils aged 4 to 11. 56% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 7.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 23% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 22% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Avening Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 13 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.3%. There are about 18.6 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Avening Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
