About Tupton Primary and Nursery Academy

Tupton Primary and Nursery Academy has turned around its fortunes in a significant way. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in October 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a marked improvement from the Inadequate rating it received in its previous inspection in 2018. Every area assessed — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged to be Good. This is a school that has clearly addressed the weaknesses identified before. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 76%, this figure is well above the Derbyshire local authority average of 59% for primary schools, placing Tupton in the top 25% of schools nationally for this measure.
