Our principal aim at Budehaven is to develop the finest quality learning community that we can; it is this overarching commitment to improving learning that lies at the heart of our work as a co-operative trust school and a community sports college.

If students are to be able to learn effectively, then they must feel excited and motivated but at the same time safe and cared for. We encourage our students to work hard, and we endeavour to create a caring and stimulating environment in which all students can achieve success. We work hard to develop in all students a sense of self-esteem, responsibility and mutual respect. We aim to equip all our students with the skills and personal qualities that will enable them to lead fruitful and healthy lives.

Our hope is that our students will make a positive contribution to the community in which they live both now and as they progress into adulthood.
