How many families applied

Preferences expressed and offers made at Reception, as published by the Department for Education. These describe demand. They do not indicate whether any particular child would be offered a place.

In the 2025 intake, 14 families named Tibberton CofE First School as their first preference, and the school made 19 offers.

That is 0.74 first preferences per place offered, which places it above 4% of schools admitting at Reception in England that year.

More first preferences per place than 4% of comparable schools position among schools in England admitting at Reception, 2025 intake

Fewer families are naming it first. Across the 5 most recent years held, first preferences per place averaged 0.91 in 2021–2022 and 0.76 in 2024–2025.

Ofsted

Teachers staying and leaving

These come from the School Workforce Census, which follows each teacher into the next year. The numbers count full-time jobs, so a teacher who works half the week counts as half. They are not a count of people.

This is turnover among teachers. It says nothing about the headteacher or the senior leadership team: DfE publishes leadership retention separately and we do not hold it by school.

Where it is

The shaded shape is the area the council published for Tibberton CofE First School. Living inside it is not the same as being offered a place. Councils use these areas in different ways. Some use them to help decide who gets a place when a school is full. Some use them to decide who gets free school transport. Many use them for both. Check with the council which it is here. The edge is drawn to about 20 metres, so do not use it to judge a single house.
