From the Tilstock CofE Primary and Nursery
You can find several explanations of why our school is unique on the many pages of our website, which brings me great pleasure to welcome you. From the time a child enters the nursery the term after turning three years old until they leave us at the end of Year 6, we at Tilstock Church of England Primary School and Nursery put them at the centre of everything we do. As a member of the Marches Academy Trust, we support the notion that "success through caring" can be attained by giving students access to a stimulating and nurturing learning environment. Our students exhibit a fantastic attitude toward learning, which they show through enjoying our unique curriculum and exploring the surroundings in our open grounds. In our wonderful wraparound care, the students participate in a variety of enriching extracurricular activities, from team sports to yoga and cooking. We also provide a bus service from nearby locations, making it even simpler for students to switch to the best school. The Marches Academy Trust, which is headed by CEO Sarah Longville, includes Tilstock Church of England Primary School and Nursery. Our school is a Church of England primary school, and as such, our Christian beliefs are obvious throughout. We offer all of the kids a secure, loving environment where they can all shine bright and reach for the stars. Please schedule a visit to our fantastic school if you're interested in learning more about Tilstock Church of England Primary School and Nursery.
