Schools in Tarporley

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Tarporley in rural Cheshire West and Chester has 7 schools in the catchment.school database, with an exceptional Ofsted record – five of the seven schools are rated Good or Outstanding. Delamere Church of England Primary Academy and Kelsall Primary and Nursery School are both Outstanding, while Tarporley High School and Sixth Form College (1,270 places, Ofsted Good) serves the secondary stage across a wide rural catchment taking in villages throughout the Tarporley Rural ward.

Four of the area's primaries are Church of England schools: Tarporley CofE, Duddon St Peter's CofE, Delamere CofE Academy, and Bunbury Aldersey CofE Primary. These voluntary controlled and aided schools apply faith criteria, though most also admit from the community by distance. FSM rates are low across Tarporley schools (generally under 14%), reflecting the largely rural, lower-deprivation catchment. Cheshire West and Chester Council coordinates all admissions; secondary applications close at the end of October.
