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.
