What Ofsted said about Bude Park Primary School
Overview
Bude Park Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils feel happy and safe within an atmosphere of "calm cheerfulness." Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and achievement, ensuring that disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported and achieve very well.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious and coherent," with well-sequenced mathematics and history lessons that build knowledge effectively over time.
- Reading instruction is "well established," with a "conspicuous promotion of a love of reading" ensuring no pupils are left behind.
- Pupils are "well-mannered, courteous and respectful," demonstrating strong inclusive values and understanding of protected characteristics.
- Attendance is high due to leaders taking "swift and decisive action" to address absence, particularly for disadvantaged pupils.
- Staff benefit from professional development and speak positively about their workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- The early years curriculum is not implemented consistently, leading to variability in the quality of children’s experiences.
- Some early years activities are not sufficiently focused on developing prime areas of learning or vocabulary, meaning children are not as ready for key stage 1 as they should be.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
