Tupton Primary and Nursery Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2023

This is a school where pupils do their best. They work well together in class and play happily together at playtimes. They look out for each other. When a pupil has no one to play with, other pupils invite them to join their games. Pupils give their full attention in lessons. They are keen to talk about their learning. They soak up knowledge. Since joining the multi-academy trust, expectations of what pupils can achieve have risen significantly. The school's vision is 'pride in everything we do'. This is underpinned by the values of partnership, respect, independence, determination and enjoyment. The school has high ambition for every pupil. It wants pupils to be confident communicators and independent learners who are excited about their future. The school plans carefully to make sure that pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education, both academically and personally. Relationships between adults and pupils are built on trust and mutual respect. Staff are dedicated to providing the best possible education for pupils. Parents appreciate the care and support their children receive. One parent commented, 'This is the best decision I have made sending my child to this school.' .'

What the school should improve

• The school is reviewing its curriculum plans to ensure that they meet the needs of all pupils. This work is not yet fully complete. There is more to be done to ensure that plans have been adapted so that every pupil can do as well as they can. The school must ensure that these reviews are completed, and continue to monitor how well the adaptations made are enabling all pupils to know and remember the intended curriculum.
