About Tysoe CofE Primary School

Tysoe CofE Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors singling out behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding. That judgement aligns with the school's strongest academic metric: 88% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Warwickshire local authority average of 62% and places Tysoe fourth out of 52 primary schools in the Stratford-on-Avon district, putting it in the top five per cent nationally. The school's overall ranking score of 88 reflects consistent performance across the three core subjects, and it is the seventh-highest performing primary in the entire local authority area.

Digging into the individual subject results, reading was a particular strength: pupils achieved an average scaled score of 112, with 65% reaching the higher standard. Maths followed closely with an average score of 110 and 53% at the higher level, while 94% of pupils met the expected standard in maths alone. Writing was more modest, with 88% at the expected level and just 12% reaching the higher standard. The school's Ofsted breakdown shows that quality of education, personal development, early years provision and leadership and management were all rated Good, with behaviour and attitudes the standout Outstanding grade. The previous inspection in 2015 also awarded an overall Good, so the school has maintained its rating across two inspections, with early years provision improving from a Requires Improvement to Good in the most recent visit.

Tysoe is a Church of England primary with 120 pupils on roll against a capacity of 140, so there is some room for growth. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 45 applications for 18 places, with all 18 first-preference offers accepted — a ratio of 2.5 applicants per place. The school offers a Forest School programme, a gymnasium, music rooms, an ICT suite and a chapel, and runs clubs including gardening, chess and choir. Sports provision covers football, cross country, rounders, athletics, dance, cricket and swimming. SEND support is broad, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional needs, speech and language issues, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. This is a strong-performing village primary that suits families who value solid academic outcomes, a calm and well-behaved environment, and a range of outdoor and creative activities within a Church of England setting.
