What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 December 2024

Pupils at Tudor Academy achieve highly and produce excellent work. This is because their teachers are very ambitious for what they can do, and pupils live up to these high expectations. Children in the Nursery get off to a flying start. They quickly learn the routines and expectations of the school. This lays the foundations extremely well for when they get older. Pupils describe their school as a creative, caring and safe place where their teachers are passionate advocates both for their achievement and well-being. Pupils learn to communicate their thoughts and opinions with confidence and clarity. For example, they regularly participate in philosophical discussions and debates. Pupils enjoy competing with other schools in an array of sporting fixtures, as well as singing in the school choir at local events. This helps to ensure all pupils are supported to develop their interests and talents, as well as make a positive contribution to their local community. Pupils are taught to collaborate positively with each other. This helps them to learn, develop confidence and foster highly positive relationships with each other and staff. Pupils are explicitly taught how to identify their feelings and accept and manage them. Pupils feel listened to and noticed.
