Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils feel happy and safe at Bude Park Primary School. They enjoy coming to school. They are well cared for by teachers who know them well. An atmosphere of calm cheerfulness pervades the school.
The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils meet these expectations. They conduct themselves well in lessons and at social times. Pupils are well-mannered, courteous and respectful. They are welcoming of visitors.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils benefit from an ambitious and coherent curriculum that runs from the early years to Year 6. Leaders have identified the important knowledge they want pupils to learn. In history, pupils know and remember historical facts. They also learn historical concepts such as change, monarchy, and settlement. They learn to be historians. Pupil's knowledge builds well over time. For example, in geography, they develop increasingly sophisticated map skills. Pupils particularly remember their learning when the curriculum is enhanced by engaging trips, visits and visitors. The mathematics curriculum is well sequenced and pupils build their knowledge on what they have learned before. Children in the early years develop their mathematical skills by practising counting and producing repeating patterns. Teachers have sound subject knowledge. They are well trained and provide lessons that have a consistent structure. Teachers are skilled at identifying when pupils have gaps in their knowledge. They support pupils well, including those with SEND, to address any gaps. The impact of the school's curriculum is reflected in the strong outcomes achieved by pupils in 2023.
