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!
