West Buckland School

“The school aims to provide a traditionally British and forward-thinking education of personalised development, innovative experiences and excellent learning, based within the school’s Christian foundation. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send) and English as an additional language (EAL), make good and sometimes excellent progress as a result of good support. School leavers succeed in gaining places at a wide variety of university courses, many of which have demanding and highly competitive entry requirements. Pupils of all ages make good progress with their knowledge, understanding and skills across a wide variety of subjects and activities. [Their] achievements across an extensive range of extracurricular activities are excellent. Pupils of all ages show excellent self-confidence, resilience and self-understanding.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2023 and an additional inspection in 2023.
