About Budehaven Community School
Budehaven Community School is located on the beautiful north Cornwall coast in the town of Bude.
We are proud to be a fully comprehensive school, providing education to students from ages 11 to 19.
Our school also benefits from a thriving, successful Sixth Form, an Area Resource Base and an Integrated Health Centre.
Partnerships are really important to Budehaven, and we have many partners, ranging from local primary schools, to secondary schools nationally, and a successful international relationship with Assossa, Ethiopia.
Budehaven Community School is a thriving environment to be part of, and its energy is tangible from the second you walk through the door. As you walk around our school, the energy of the students and staff is infectious. The stunning work of our talented young people is on display around the school and in our stylish Bistro Art Gallery, aside that of local artists for all to appreciate.
We celebrate talent, skill, effort and difference, and the results of this are evident in every part of the school community. Walls of Excellence in classrooms display outstanding student work, the fundraising activities and competitions that take place across our Houses bring out the generosity of all members of our Budehaven family, the national and international sporting competitions that we are so proud of our students for competing within, and the musical talents of our students, ranging from the Jazz Band to the Samba Band further adds to the atmosphere.
We are proud to have been judged to be a GOOD school by Ofsted (February, 2017). Our students achieve well: younger students follow a mastery curriculum that builds on prior knowledge and understanding in a spiral way, linking ideas within and across subjects. As a result, Key Stage 3 prepares them well for the challenges of GCSEs. Our Year 11 students’ GCSE results in 2018 showed a year on year increase in the number of students making good progress, and the percentage of students that achieved a Grade 5 or higher in English and maths was significantly higher than other local schools.
We are incredibly proud of our Sixth Form, which provides a range of A Level and BTec courses that cater for the academic requirements of all members of our school community, leading to them achieving top results. We are also very proud of our Sixth Form students; every year many of them go on to Oxbridge, Russell Group, national and international universities.
Budehaven students and staff are proud of our school and the community it serves. We are ambitious for our students, academically and for their development into curious young people. Our students understand and can articulate their thoughts and ideas on a wide range of topics, from climate change to politics, economics to science. They look beyond their locality, look at the world in wonder, and become thoughtful and productive members of society.
We welcome anyone who would like to come and visit our school community, and cannot wait to show you all the amazing things we have to offer!
