Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Tithe Barn Primary School helps pupils become confident mathematicians who reach above average standards. Teachers create welcoming classrooms where children are eager to learn and not afraid to try new methods. By the end of Year 6, almost every pupil reaches the expected level, with more than half achieving higher levels.

Key Strengths

  • Pupils attain above average standards in mathematics and make good progress
  • Teachers create positive learning atmospheres where pupils are keen to learn
  • Pupils develop strong proficiency in calculating and recalling mathematical knowledge
  • Teachers generally make good use of errors and misconceptions as teaching points

Areas for Improvement

  • Subject leadership needs to be stronger with more frequent checks on teaching quality and pupils' understanding
  • Curriculum needs greater focus on reasoning and problem-solving rather than just working through textbook exercises
  • Early Years Foundation Stage needs more outdoor activities focused on shape, space and measures
  • Gap in attainment between disadvantaged pupils and their peers is not closing quickly enough

This was a subject survey inspection focused on mathematics at Tithe Barn Primary School. The overall effectiveness of mathematics requires improvement, though teaching is good and pupils achieve above average standards.
