Our Schools

We currently have 10 schools and we aim to welcome new schools next year, reaching 15 schools by 2026. We are proud to work in partnership with our leaders to create a community of expertise across the Trust.

In Tilian we value the individuality of schools. We understand that schools need to serve their communities and because our school communities are diverse, our schools must also be diverse.

Listed below are the fantastic schools we work with, and features their most recent Ofsted judgements.

curriculum that ensures they achieve well. Pupils take responsibility for their own

learning by working independently to complete tasks. Behaviour is exemplary.' Ofsted

Gislingham Church of England Primary School

'Pupils are expected to work hard, and they do. The school has high expectations for what they can achieve; many pupils achieve a high standard academically by the time they leave. They are enthusiastic about the topics they study and want to find out more. Their academic learning is supported by lots of other activities, such as learning the guitar and acting in Shakespeare’s plays at a local theatre.' Ofsted

Orford Church of England Primary School and Nursery

'Adults have high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They learn well and make strong progress in most subjects. Teachers make lessons interesting. There are lots of opportunities to go on trips to support pupils’ learning.' Ofsted 

Crawford's Church of England Primary School

'Pupils have access to an exceptionally wide variety of resources to encourage play and exploration. Pupils build dens, role play shops, create ‘potions’, and climb crates and trees. They create huge, collaborative artworks and make minibeast habitats. Pupils work with others and develop their play over several days. They are aware of risk and consider what they must do to minimise this. Pupils look out for each other and make sure that everyone is included.' Ofsted
