About Tytherington School

Tytherington School’s headline Progress 8 score of 0.09 sits well above the Cheshire East local authority average of -0.17 for secondary schools, meaning pupils here make stronger academic progress than their peers across the borough. That gap of 0.26 is meaningful — it places the school 7th out of 26 state secondaries in the area, comfortably in the top third. The school is also oversubscribed, with 420 applications for 240 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 233 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents see the value in that above-average progress. Tytherington is a mixed, non-denominational secondary with a sixth form, led by headteacher Emmanuel Botwe. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its graded inspections. The sixth form was also judged Good.

Digging into the exam data, Tytherington’s Attainment 8 score of 49.9 means the average pupil achieves nearly a grade higher per subject than the national baseline. In maths, the Progress 8 score of 0.26 is particularly strong — pupils gain over a quarter of a grade more than similar students nationally. English progress is more modest at 0.03, while the EBacc element sits at 0.12. Over three-quarters of pupils (75.3%) achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths, and 35.3% hit the higher 5+ threshold. The EBacc entry rate is 42.1%, with 23.4% of pupils securing a grade 5 or above across that suite. At A-level, the school’s value-added score of 0.19 is rated above average, with an average grade of B across the best three A-levels and a points-per-entry score of 38.32, equivalent to a B-. The sixth form is a clear strength.

The school is well-resourced for a state secondary, with facilities including a swimming pool, theatre, sports hall, music rooms, and a dedicated sixth form centre. Sports provision covers football, rugby, rowing, cricket, gymnastics, and cross country, while clubs range from science and coding to debate, choir, and gardening. SEND support is broad, covering dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social and emotional needs, speech and language issues, hearing impairment, multi-sensory impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. With 18.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a mixed catchment. Tytherington suits families who want a large, popular secondary with strong academic outcomes — especially in maths and at sixth form — and a wide range of enrichment, all within a Good-rated, non-selective setting.
