The Tower School
Essex, East of England · CM16 4BA
The Tower School is a notably small independent school in Essex, with around 59 pupils on roll. It admits boys and girls and has no religious affiliation, with entry available at age 11 through an 11+ assessment. As an ISI-inspected independent, it sits outside the state system, and its intimate size means classes are likely to be small and the atmosphere close-knit. Families drawn to a personal, low-volume setting rather than a large institution may find it of particular interest.

Teaching & academics
The published headline measures sit well below national averages: an Attainment 8 score of 2.4 against a national figure of 46.9, and 0% of pupils achieving grade 5 or above in English and Maths compared with 47% nationally. With such a small cohort, these figures should be read with care, as a handful of pupils can move the numbers sharply. Prospective parents would do well to discuss results, cohort size and the curriculum directly with the school.

The last word
