Tiffield - The village of Tiffield lies two miles north of Towcester between the A5 to the west and the A43 to the east. The Church of England primary school is smaller than average and awarded 'Good' by Ofsted in 2017. It is now linked with the schools at Gayton, Stoke Bruerne and Whittlebury to form the Forest Federation. Most pupils who leave the school progress to Sponne School in Towcester. In the village there is a church, a pub, a pocket park and a playing field. The village has one main road, which runs from the A43 to the village of Gayton.
The nearby market town of Towcester has many amenities including shops, bars and restaurants, primary and secondary schools, doctor and dentist surgeries and a leisure centre.
There is good access to the main arterial roads including the M1 motorway at junction 15a, the M40, A5 and A43 with train stations at Milton Keynes and Northampton offering services to London Euston with journey times of around 35 minutes and 50 minutes respectively.
Sporting activities in the area include rugby, hockey, tennis, netball and cricket at the nearby Towcestrians Sports Club, golf at Silverstone and Whittlebury Hall, sailing at Draycote Water, Pitsford and Hollowell Reservoirs, and of course the world famous motor racing at Silverstone.
