About Tittensor CofE (C) First School

Tittensor CofE (C) First School is a small Church of England primary in Staffordshire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 39 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 6. Of those, 18 were first-preference applications, and all 15 places went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage in the data. Headteacher Gail Craig leads a school of just 71 pupils against a capacity of 82, so there is a little breathing room in the numbers, but competition for places is fierce. The school offers nursery provision for children from age three, and the age range runs up to nine, meaning pupils move on to a middle school after Year 4. With a Church of England religious character, the school is likely to be a natural fit for families who value a faith-based setting, though oversubscription criteria will probably prioritise church connection.
