Schools in Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury is a medieval market town at the confluence of the Rivers Severn and Avon, served by 18 schools: 13 primaries including Ashchurch, Twyning, and Tewkesbury Church of England Primary, plus a single secondary, Tewkesbury Academy. Admissions are co-ordinated by Gloucestershire County Council with catchment boundaries updated annually.
Five of Tewkesbury's schools carry a religious character, including several Church of England primaries with long-established links to local parishes. Four schools hold a Good or Outstanding Ofsted rating. One school is currently at or above its admission number. Tewkesbury's surrounding villages - particularly along the M5 corridor - have seen residential growth in recent years, which can increase competition for primary places in those locations; families should confirm their address is within catchment before submitting the Gloucestershire co-ordinated application.
