About

At Tunstall Nursery School we celebrate diversity and recognise the unique strengths and talents within every member of our school community. We are relentless in our drive to ensure that every child reaches their own full potential.

Our School Improvement Plan for 2025/26 can be found by clicking on the following link: Our mission for Tunstall Nursery School is to provide a warm, caring and stimulating environment, which encourages values and celebrates diversity and individual excellence. We aim to make a difference to every child, regardless of any barriers to learning they may face.

We aim to instil a life-long love of learning in every member of the school community. We wish to equip all children with the skills necessary to become interesting, well-rounded individuals, who in turn will make a difference to others in their lives.

At Tunstall, we believe that each person is unique in terms of abilities, needs, culture, beliefs, attitudes, language, relationships and experience. We respect and value these and recognise that we are learners throughout our lifetime. We aim to develop competent, confident learners who achieve well. To realise this aim we work in a supportive partnership with parents/carers.
