Schools in Chippenham
The Chippenham area encompassing South Gloucestershire contains 31 schools - 25 primaries, 3 secondaries and 3 other settings - administered by South Gloucestershire Council under its coordinated admissions scheme. South Gloucestershire uses a combination of sibling priority and measured straight-line distance to the school for community schools, with published offer statistics updated after each National Offer Day.
Rural spread in this corridor means that several village primaries serve tight, locality-specific catchments, and families in settlements like Marshfield or Luckington should check boundary maps carefully before applying to schools that appear geographically close but sit outside the school's historic offer distance. Sibling links are a significant planning factor for families already in the area, as they carry priority above distance for most community schools.
