FAQs
How many schools are there in Cheltenham?
- The directory lists 74 schools across the GL50–GL54 postcode districts. That range reaches slightly beyond the town itself, so a handful sit in the surrounding villages.
What types of school are included?
- Every phase and type on the official register: infant, primary and junior schools, secondaries, a grammar school, independent schools, and special schools. You can sort the table by phase and type to narrow it down.
Where does the schools data come from?
- The data is sourced from the Department for Education’s Get Information about Schools register, which contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
How often is it updated?
- GIAS is maintained by schools and local authorities and updated regularly. The list here is refreshed from the register, so newly opened or closed schools appear when the source data is updated.
Does the list include Ofsted ratings?
- Not currently. The directory covers each school’s name, phase, type, address and postcode, and links through to its official record where inspection reports are held. Ratings may be added in future.
