What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Tibberton First School is a happy and successful school. Pupils are exceptionally proud of their school and relish attending every day. They are rarely absent. The school has a genuine family feel. Pupils feel very well cared for and safe in school because there are kind and dedicated staff members who put pupils' needs at the heart of all they do. The school has a determination that pupils leave Tibberton as well-rounded young adults of the future. It also wants them to reach their full potential in learning. This strong ambition is realised. Pupils can read and write to a high standard. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve equally well. All pupils behave beautifully throughout the day. They are polite, courteous and routinely well-mannered. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to widen their experiences outside of the classroom. It arranges for visitors to come to school to speak about the world of work. They provide pupils with information about different careers. Pupils get to go on a variety of trips and visits that help bring learning to life. Pupils are ready for the next stage of education when the time comes to leave their much-loved first school.
What the school should improve
- The mathematics curriculum is not always implemented as well as it could be. In some lessons, pupils are not taught the most effective way to solve more complex problems. This leads to them making mistakes and limits the degree of challenge for some pupils. The school should ensure that the mathematics curriculum is implemented successfully so that pupils acquire the knowledge and skills to be able to achieve well.
- In some areas of the curriculum, some teachers do not systematically check errors, misconceptions and gaps in pupils' learning. As a result, pupils continue to make the same mistakes and do not learn as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that all teachers identify and promptly address errors and misconceptions so that pupils make even better progress across the curriculum.
