The schools around Moreton-in-Marsh are good, and you would have to look quite hard to find a bad one. Nearly nine in ten graded schools in the county are good or better. The town has its own Church of England primary. The surrounding villages have more. At secondary age the walking stops and the school run begins.
Gloucestershire has 156 schools and settings holding a published Ofsted grade, and 136 of them are rated good or outstanding, which is close to nine in ten. Nine are outstanding, 19 require improvement and one is inadequate. Another 95 have no published grade yet, which tells you nothing either way. These are county-wide counts, so they describe the system Moreton's children go through and say nothing directly about the school at the end of a particular road. It is still a reassuring spread, and parents moving from somewhere with a worse one tend to notice.
St David's Church of England Primary School is the town's own primary and takes its name from the parish church in the original settlement, still called Old Town. Gloucestershire County Council allocates places by its published admissions rules, so buying near St David's improves your chances of a place and does not guarantee one. Blockley Church of England Primary School and Longborough Church of England Primary School serve the villages to the north-west and south. Kitebrook Preparatory School is the other option the area names. Moreton's church once had to send its dead to Blockley for burial, and a family that misses out at St David's may find the town still relies on that neighbour.
The Department for Transport's 2019 modelling puts the nearest primary 14 minutes' walk away for the typical home. The nearest secondary is about 19 minutes by car or 33 minutes by public transport, and bus timetables have probably changed more since 2019 than the roads have. Secondary is where Moreton stops being a walkable town and becomes one where children get driven. If an eleven-year-old is part of the plan, check the county's home-to-school transport rules for the exact address, because those rules decide whether the bus is free or whether you drive.
The schools are one of Moreton-in-Marsh's real strengths. The primaries are close, the county's grades are strong, and the only drawback is the drive once your children reach secondary age.
