What CHRIST CHURCH C OF E PRIMARY SCHOOL (CHELTENHAM) does

Christ Church C of E Primary School is a state-funded Church of England primary school located at Malvern Road, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (GL50 2NR), serving children from Reception through Year 6 (ages 4-11). It operates as an academy within the Diocese of Gloucester Academies Trust (DGAT), which provides governance, policy oversight, and channels government education funding. The school's Head Teacher is Mrs K. Pope, and its articulated Christian ethos is built around five core values — Respect, Friendship, Perseverance, Compassion, and Courage — underpinned by the motto "Always Be Kind."

The curriculum follows the National Curriculum with specialist teaching in music (Charanga scheme, including violin, brass, ukulele, and iPad tuition), PE (Get Set 4 PE, Forest School, swimming), French (Language Angels at KS2), Religious Education (Understanding Christianity plus the Gloucestershire Agreed Syllabus), PSHE (Jigsaw Programme), and mathematics (White Rose Maths with Times Table Rock Stars and NumBots). Phonics is delivered via Essential Letters and Sounds.

Wraparound care is offered through Kidzone, and ancillary paid services include Caterlink school dinners (£2.95 per day via Parent Pay) and Cool Milk.

Commercially, the school operates as a non-commercial charitable entity within the UK state education system: its core revenue is government per-pupil funding via DGAT, supplemented by modest fee income from meals and milk. The customer base consists of local families admitted through the Gloucestershire County Council process, with no direct tuition charged. Marketing is conducted through the school website, newsletters, PTA, and prospective-parent open days. The school maintains a network of community partnerships including Sandfields Care Home, The Wilson Museum, University of Gloucestershire, KAPLA UK, Young Voices, and the Cheltenham Music and Jazz Festivals. No AI capabilities, M&A activity, or funding rounds are associated with the school.
