St Budeaux is a school that pupils thoroughly enjoy. This is reflected in their high levels of attendance. The school’s values of forgiveness, love, respect and joy permeate the school. High standards of behaviour are ingrained in the fabric of the school. This is because staff have high expectations. Pupils are focused in their lessons and cherish their social time. Warm and caring relationships between pupils and staff contribute to pupils’ resolute attitudes to learning. Staff know their pupils and families well. This provides teaching staff with a strong platform to launch a good quality of education. Pupils say that they feel safe and cared for. Pupils told us that bullying does not happen. They say that in the past, bullying did happen, but are confident that it does not happen anymore. They also say that staff are quick to resolve any incidents or worries. This view is also shared by parents and carers who responded to Ofsted’s online survey, Parent View. Pupils appreciate the additional opportunities they have to take on further responsibility. They are particularly enthusiastic about their roles as ‘worship warriors’ to promote the school’s Christian values. Pupils say they feel listened to and that their views are taken into consideration.
