About Tintwistle CofE (Aided) Primary School

Tintwistle CofE (Aided) Primary School is a small Church of England primary in High Peak, Derbyshire, with 117 pupils against a capacity of 120 — so it’s running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 22.1%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average economic need. Demand is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 19 applications for 15 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.27, and all 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That’s a healthy signal that local families rate the school, though it’s not so oversubscribed that getting in feels like a lottery. With nursery provision on site, it also caters to children from age three, which can be a practical draw for working parents in the area.
