Ofsted reports
OFSTED last inspected the school in June 2025, in which we were graded GOOD in all areas. This is a wonderful result, and one which celebrates the dedication and hard work that has gone into improving Tuel Lane over the last 3 years.
.The inspectors commented:
- The curriculum is broad, balanced, ambitious, clearly designed and is absolutely right for our children.
- The teaching of reading is effective and children have very positive attitudes to reading. They make super progress.
- Children with SEND successfully access the curriculum, with clear and effective adaptations in place to meet their needs.
- Attitudes towards inclusion of high needs is clear and having significant impact.
- Teachers subject knowledge is strong and subject leaders know their subjects well.
- Leaders have clear ambition for the direction of school. Ambitions are being fulfilled.
- Staff receive high quality training and development and this enables them to flourish.
- The commitment to safeguarding is clear.
- It’s a really positive picture!
What we need to do next:
- Continue to embed foundation subjects so that children learn and build on their understanding over time..
- Improve attendance to ensure that pupils benefit from the curriculum in place.
Please do have a read of our report - it absolutely captures everything that we are trying to do at Tuel Lane!
