Common questions
What is the catchment area for Bromesberrow St Mary's Church of England Primary School?
Bromesberrow St Mary's Church of England Primary School does not have one in the sense most people mean. Like most English schools, an oversubscribed year offers places outward from the school until they run out. The nearest thing to an answer: the furthest child admitted in 2024/25 lived 10.0 miles away, per Gloucestershire.
How close do I need to live to get a place at Bromesberrow St Mary's Church of England Primary School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 10.0 miles was enough in 2024/25, and at 102% full the school has little slack. The distance moves every year with the number of applications, so treat last year's figure as evidence, not a promise.
Does buying a house near Bromesberrow St Mary's Church of England Primary School guarantee a place?
No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings and faith criteria ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
