About Tuxford Primary Academy

Tuxford Primary Academy is a state primary school in Nottinghamshire’s Bassetlaw borough, catering for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11. Among the 44 primary schools in Bassetlaw, it ranks 25th, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. The top-performing peers in the area are John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy, and Bunny CofE Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Tuxford’s own ranking score of 53 puts it some way behind those leaders. The school is led by headteacher Gareth Letton and has a capacity of 337 pupils, though it currently enrols 238, leaving a fair amount of spare places. It does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in June 2024, the school was judged to remain Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
