Schools in Stonehouse
Stonehouse is a market town in Gloucestershire's Stroud district with 11 schools, including 8 primaries and one secondary — Maidenhill School. Gloucestershire County Council coordinates admissions across the district and publishes catchment maps each September for the following academic year. One school is currently at or above capacity; four carry a faith designation.
Only one school in the Stonehouse cluster operates as an academy, making this an area with a relatively high proportion of maintained community schools compared to the national average. For primary admissions, Gloucestershire uses straight-line distance as the tiebreaker for most schools. Families should note that Maidenhill School also draws pupils from neighbouring Stroud and Leonard Stanley, so competition for places can be modest; checking the latest published offer data is advisable.
