25th of 70 primary schools in Stockport we can score, 85 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,720 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1/10 among them, against 6.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Tithe Barn Primary School
Overview
Tithe Barn Primary School is described as a “small and nurturing” environment where pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), “genuinely enjoy belonging.” The report highlights that pupils show “high levels of care towards each other” and maintain “warm and respectful relationships” with staff. Leaders have constructed an “aspirational and ambitious curriculum” that prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education, supported by effective teaching and strong governance.
Strengths
- Pupils are “happy and they feel safe,” knowing staff are available to help with any worries.
- The school has implemented an “effective early reading curriculum,” with staff intervening quickly to support struggling readers.
- Staff are “skilful” in identifying additional needs, ensuring pupils with SEND access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Governors “know the school well” and offer appropriate support and challenge, particularly regarding the quality of education.
- Pupils enjoy a “wide range of experiences beyond the academic curriculum,” including meaningful trips and roles such as school councillors.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, there is “too much curriculum content for pupils to know and remember,” hindering the development of deep understanding.
- Assessment systems in a few subjects are “underdeveloped,” preventing teachers from fully checking how well pupils have retained earlier learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
