Tibberton Church of England Primary School

About Tibberton Church of England Primary School

Tibberton Church of England Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, its oversubscription ratio tells a clear story: the school has a capacity of 150 places, and in a local authority where only 8 out of 56 primary schools are rated Outstanding, Tibberton holds a solid Good rating from Ofsted. That combination of a Good rating and a Church of England character in a relatively small village setting makes it a sought-after option for parents in the Telford and Wrekin area. The school is led by headteacher Craig Battrick and caters to mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with no nursery provision or sixth form. For families prioritising a strong community feel and a clear moral framework, the school’s religious character and consistent Ofsted grade are reassuring signals.

Academically, Tibberton’s most recent Ofsted inspection rated it Good across all areas, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The school’s Key Stage 2 results are not individually published in this data, but the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 63, which provides a benchmark. Tibberton’s performance is likely competitive within this context, given its Good rating and the fact that it ranks alongside top peers such as Moorfield Primary School and Newdale Primary School & Nursery, both of which hold ranking scores of 85. The school does not have a sixth form, so pupils typically move on to secondary schools in the area after Year 6. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the Ofsted rating and local peer comparisons offer a reliable starting point, though individual school-level results would give a fuller picture.

On the practical side, Tibberton offers a wide range of facilities that support both learning and wellbeing. These include a library, art studios, music rooms, a sensory room, a sports hall, playing fields, an outdoor playground, and a chapel. The school runs clubs such as gardening, eco club, art club, drama, science club, and choir, and offers sports including cross country, rounders, gymnastics, and netball. For families with children who benefit from sensory support, the dedicated sensory room is a notable provision. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Peter’s Church of England Controlled Primary School and Nursery, 4.2 km away, which may be relevant for parents considering alternatives. Tibberton suits families who value a Church of England ethos, a broad extracurricular offer, and a school that is clearly popular enough to be oversubscribed, all within a manageable village setting in Telford and Wrekin.
