Bude, EX23 9QU · Cornwall · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
4.1/10 Broadly average

119th of 218 primary schools in Cornwall we can score, 236 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,210 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in October 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6 out of 10 among them, against 3.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lego Club and Jigsaws puzzle club, and participate in gymnastics, swimming, athletics, dance, and various team games. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 148 pupils in a capacity of 150, leaving just 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school handle waiting lists for new starters? Since there is no breakfast club, what support is offered for pupils arriving early? How does the school plan to improve attainment to match the national median of 64%?
