We are delighted to have maintained our grading of “Good” in our most recent Ofsted Inspection in June 2019 and are very proud of our report and the exceedingly positive outcomes. This is a very caring and happy school which sets high standards and believes the relationship between school, pupil and home is strongest when all are working together towards a common goal of success. We believe that this success will be best achieved within the vibrant and organised learning environment that Buckingham Primary is able to provide.

Our school has an extremely positive ethos where the quality of care, welfare and safety are excellent. Consequently, pupils feel secure, have very good attitudes to learning and develop great confidence in their time with us. We are a three-form entry Primary School with a nursery provision.

We place great importance on the partnership we share with you in supporting your child’s learning. Close and constructive relationships are vital and so we keep you well informed about your child’s progress and how we can work together to ensure they are happy, safe and successful at school. We will always listen to any concerns or ideas that you have.

I hope you enjoy visiting our school website and that you find us informative and interesting. Of course, the best way to really find out about us is to come and visit us and see our school and all who work here for yourself. Please feel free to contact me to arrange a visit to school with your child. I look forward to meeting you.

Of course, we also want you to meet our pupils - they are our greatest asset.
