About Tilston Parochial CofE Primary School

Tilston Parochial CofE Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 44 applications for just 16 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.75. Of those applicants, 17 put it down as their first preference, and all 16 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, and it's backed up by the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, which rated it Good overall. Leadership and management were singled out as Outstanding, which is a strong signal for parents who care about how the school is run. The school is a Church of England primary with a nursery provision, and it serves children from age 3 to 11. With just 121 pupils on roll against a capacity of 101, it's operating slightly above its official capacity, which may reflect that popularity.
