Tilstock CE Primary School has received the accolade from the Music Heroes schools initiative, which supports more than 800 students across Shropshire and Powys.

The award recognises the school's dedication to nurturing musical talent and ensuring every child has the opportunity to shine through music.

Tilstock was praised for its strong commitment to music education - offering instrumental lessons in piano, guitar, and drums, delivering a year of whole-class ukulele tuition, and providing regular opportunities for children to learn, perform, and celebrate music together.
