About Tattingstone Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Of the 16 parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 75% said they would recommend Tattingstone Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School to other parents. That figure is worth noting, though the small sample size means it should be taken as indicative rather than definitive. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received five applications for just one available place, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 5:1. Only one of those applications was a first preference, suggesting that while demand outstrips supply, the school may not be every local family's top choice. On the survey, parents were most positive about their child's happiness and safety, with 69% strongly agreeing that their child is happy and 56% strongly agreeing that they feel safe. However, 25% of respondents said they would not recommend the school, and a notable 19% strongly disagreed that the school supports their child's wider personal development.
