About Tudor Primary School

Parents considering Tudor Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction in the most recent Parent View responses, collected between September 2024 and September 2025. A very high 91% of the 43 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. The feedback on the day-to-day experience is particularly positive: 98% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child feels safe, and 93% felt their child is happy at the school. Behaviour is also a clear strength, with 93% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well-behaved. The school is heavily oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 academic year, with 52 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.47. Only nine first-preference offers were made, which underscores its popularity among local families. The school has a nursery provision for children from age three, and the current headteacher is Andy Griffiths.

Academically, Tudor Primary School's most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2025 saw it judged Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2023. The inspection awarded Outstanding grades for both early years provision and personal development, while behaviour and attitudes, quality of education, and leadership and management were all rated Good. However, the school's Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year are below the local authority average. Just 36% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Barnet average of 73%. This places the school at the bottom of the 80 primary schools in the local authority rankings for this metric. Individual subject scores show 68% reached the expected standard in reading, 64% in writing, and 40% in maths, with higher attainment (working at a greater depth) ranging from 4% to 20% across subjects.

Tudor Primary School is a mixed, non-religious state primary in Barnet with 196 pupils on roll against a capacity of 310, meaning there is room for growth. The school serves a diverse community, with 29.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals. Facilities include a sports hall, music rooms, art studios, an ICT suite, and a forest school, plus a chapel. The school offers a range of sports including gymnastics, swimming, football and netball, and clubs such as science, art, eco and coding. SEND support is available for pupils with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia), social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs. Given its strong parent satisfaction and improved Ofsted rating, this school may suit families who prioritise a supportive, well-behaved environment over headline academic scores, and who are prepared for a competitive admissions process.
