Schools in Chepstow

Chepstow sits on the England–Wales border, which creates an unusual admissions picture: some families in the area fall under Gloucestershire County Council's co-ordinated scheme while others are directed to Monmouthshire County Council across the River Wye. The seven schools in and around Chepstow include two primaries, one secondary (Wyedean School and Sixth Form Centre), and several independent and specialist settings. Tutshill Church of England VA Primary is the main faith school, where the governing body — not the Local Authority — controls admissions.

Average fill across Chepstow's state primaries sits at 74 per cent, suggesting that oversubscription pressure is moderate compared with many market towns of similar size. One school is officially oversubscribed, however, so parents on the cusp of a catchment boundary should verify their nearest mapped distance before the January admissions deadline. Families living west of the bridge are advised to confirm whether they fall under the Welsh or English admissions timetable, as key dates can differ by several weeks.
