About Thomas Wall Nursery School

Thomas Wall Nursery School is one of just two state nursery schools in the Sutton local authority, and it stands out because it is the only one currently rated Good by Ofsted — the other nursery in the LA holds no Outstanding rating. This is a school that has seen its rating shift from Outstanding in its 2013 inspection to Good in its most recent graded inspection in May 2025. While that might sound like a step down, it's worth noting that the 2025 inspection judged the school Good across all four graded categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. For a small nursery with 91 pupils aged 3 to 5, this places it in a solid position locally, especially given that no nursery in Sutton currently holds an Outstanding grade.
