Tynsel Parkes CofE Primary Academy
About Tynsel Parkes CofE Primary Academy
Tynsel Parkes CofE Primary Academy is a Church of England primary school in East Staffordshire that, on its most recent data, operates at a clear disadvantage compared with the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The Staffordshire LA average for KS2 attainment sits at 65, but the school’s own published results are not provided in the available data, making a direct comparison impossible. What is known is that the school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 54 applications for 30 places, with 31 of those as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. That level of demand suggests local families see something valuable here, even if headline academic metrics are not yet available to benchmark against the county. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2025, confirmed that standards are maintained, and its overall effectiveness remains Good, a rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014.
