About this school's place in the register
Terra Nova School is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 111472. Its type in the register is "Other independent school", in the group the Department calls "Independent schools". Its UK provider reference number is 10018559. The register was last checked on 7 November 2026, and this entry last changed on 2 November 2026.
The statutory age range is 2 to 13, which is the span of ages the school is registered to admit; the routes children take to the gate, and how independently they travel, follow from it. The intake is recorded as mixed. At the last school census 219 pupils were on roll. The register holds a website address for the school, linked below.
The school is in England, at postcode CW4 8BT. Its grid reference is easting 379596, northing 370110, which is latitude 53.2276 and longitude -2.3071. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the parks, stops and stations nearby, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.
Terra Nova School sits in the Cheshire East local authority area, which has 180 open establishments in the register. The local authority is one of the three statutory safeguarding partners, with the integrated care board and the police, who together publish the local safeguarding arrangements and the threshold document a school's child protection policy refers to; the authority also sets out its early help offer, so the same authority context applies to every school in Cheshire East.
The nearest schools in the register to Terra Nova School are Goostrey Community Primary School (1.7 km away), Peover Superior Endowed Primary School (3.7 km away), Hermitage Primary School (3.9 km away), Holmes Chapel Primary School (4.7 km away) and Oak Cottage (4.9 km away). Distances are straight lines between grid references, not walking routes. Schools close together share many of the same streets, stops and parks, but each page and report is measured from that school's own site.
