School Atlas lists 76 state primary schools, 16 state secondary schools, 5 special schools, 1 alternative provision school and 2 post-16 schools and colleges in Tameside. It also lists 11 independent schools and 64 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 33 have a religious character: 18 Church of England and 15 Roman Catholic.
Of the 92 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Tameside, 35 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 2 Outstanding, 31 Good and 2 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 21 of these schools have had one.
Tameside doesn't publish catchment boundaries, so there’s no boundary map to check. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 78 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
