From the Buckingham Primary School
Welcome to Buckingham Primary School and the website for our institution. We are pleased of our report and the overwhelmingly excellent outcomes, and we are thrilled to have maintained our grade of "Good" in our most recent Ofsted Inspection in June 2019. This is a very loving and joyful school that has high expectations and thinks that the bond between school, student, and home is strongest when everyone is working together to achieve success. In our opinion, Buckingham Primary's dynamic and well-structured learning environment will be the most conducive to this success. The care, welfare, and safety standards are of the highest calibre at our school, which has a very positive atmosphere. Students feel safe, have excellent attitudes toward learning, and gain a lot of confidence as a result throughout their time with us. We are a primary school with three forms of entrance and a nursery programme. The collaboration we have with you to support your child's learning is something we value highly. We believe that strong, positive relationships are essential, which is why we keep you informed about your child's development and how we can cooperate to make sure they are content, safe, and successful in school. We will always consider any suggestions or worries you may have. I hope you enjoy visiting our school website and that you find us useful and fascinating. Of course, the best way to actually learn about us is to visit us and get to know our school and everyone who works here. To schedule a visit to the school with your child, don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I am excited to meet you. Of course, we also want you to get to know our students, as they are what we value most.
