First school

Ages 5–9

Key Stage 2 performance

Tenacres First School is a first school for pupils aged 5–9. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every first school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Tenacres First School

Tenacres First School is a primary school in Redditch, Worcestershire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 279 pupils aged 5 to 9 attend the school.

Tenacres First School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 64 first choices for 60 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.70 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.6%. There are about 21.8 pupils per teacher. Tenacres First School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
