Welcome 
“Budehaven is a true community school” Ofsted, May 2024
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, welcoming and providing an inclusive education to students aged 11 to 19. Our school benefits from a thriving, successful Sixth Form, from which many of our young people access some of the top Universities in the UK.
Budehaven Community School is a thriving environment to be part of, and our ethos, which is built on a foundation of Care, Enjoyment and Opportunities, building Responsibility, Confidence and Success, is tangible from the second you walk through the door. As you travel around our school, the energy of the students and staff is infectious and it is clear to see that we uphold high standards of behaviour and attitudes to learning. The stunning work of our talented young people is on display around the school, and their art and photography work is one of our jewels in the Budehaven crown within our stylish Bistro Art Gallery for all to appreciate. We have an annual art exhibition, where members of the community come and admire the work of our young people.
