What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2023

A wonderful family exists at Buckingham Park. There is strong collaboration between everyone to strive for the very best for pupils. The school's thoughtfully created environment supports pupils to learn and play, particularly in the early years. Pupils are buoyant and happy. They love the fact there is so much outdoor space for them to roam in. Behaviour expectations are clear to all and the school adopts consistent routines. These teach pupils how to behave sensibly and be kind to each other. Pupils are tolerant and respectful, underpinned by the school's Christian values. Ambitious leaders set a curriculum where pupils experience a broad offer of academic subjects and enrichment. Pupils work hard and try their best. Caring adults support any pupil who may struggle. Across year groups, the school sets out clear learning expectations to help all pupils achieve. Physical activity is prioritised daily. Pupils keenly participate in a wide range of sporting activities and competitions. Pupils are rightly proud of how they compete and have achieved notable success in different events. Different extra-curricular clubs are available to develop pupils' talents and interests. Additional responsibilities motivate pupils to serve their school and their community.

What the school should improve

  • Teachers are not always clear about how best to implement the school's curriculum. This can lead to some activities that are not ambitious enough and do not help every pupil to practise the knowledge they need. The school needs to refocus its staff professional development programme on adults' pedagogical knowledge so that work set enables pupils to securely learn the planned content.
  • Processes are not yet in place to ensure subject leaders know how well pupils have learned the school's curriculum successfully. This includes not being clear on the most effective classroom practice to help pupils learn effectively. The school should further help leaders to focus even more on pupils achieving well.
