Tytherington School
Macclesfield, SK10 2EE · Cheshire East · secondary school
10th of 22 secondary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 23 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.3/10 against 927 of them, against 6.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.5 · 71 | 30% | 2.14 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.09 · 57 | 25% | 1.41 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 50.1 · 71 | 10% | 0.71 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, with the most recent inspection in 2026. In 2024/25, 53.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 50.1, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.09 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Homework Club, Tytherington Women’s Group, MakerSpace Club, Student Parliament, Christian Union, KS3 Book Club, KS3 Art Club, and Chess Club. Instrumental lessons are available. Trips include visits to Othello at HOME Theatre, Iceland, a CSI Day, Maths Inspiration at RNCM Concert Hall, and Geneva. Both breakfast and after-school clubs operate.
Getting in. There are 1416 pupils in a school with 1214 places, meaning it is over capacity by 202. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being 202 students over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who need extra help in
