About Tackley Church of England Primary School

Parents at Tackley Church of England Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience, with 95% of respondents to the Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. The survey, which ran from September 2024 to September 2025 and gathered 55 responses, shows particularly strong satisfaction around pupil happiness and safety: 96% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 94% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 academic year, it received 31 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.38. All 13 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers suggest demand significantly outstrips supply. Parents also report strong confidence in the school's support for children with special educational needs, with 94% agreeing that SEND pupils get the help they need.
