About Tollesbury School

Tollesbury School is a state primary in the Essex local authority, serving 163 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the Maldon borough. Within the local landscape of 444 same-type schools across Essex, it sits at rank 274, placing it in the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in the area include St Thomas More's Catholic Primary School, Colchester, Stambridge Primary School, and Great Totham Primary School, all of which achieved the highest possible ranking score of 100. Tollesbury's own ranking score of 53 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though it's worth noting the school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 29 applications for 23 places and 20 first-preference offers made. This suggests a solid local reputation despite the modest ranking position.
