About St Budeaux CofE Primary Academy
St Budeaux CofE Primary Academy in Plymouth has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in April 2025, where inspectors confirmed that standards were maintained. This marks a significant improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in January 2016, when it was rated Requires Improvement. The leadership and management are now also rated Good. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the school’s headline metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 59%. That figure is slightly below the Plymouth local authority average of 63%, placing the school 43rd out of 69 primary schools in the area. Just 10% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, though individual subject scores tell a more nuanced story.
