We are proud to be a fully comprehensive school, welcoming and 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, national secondary schools, and overseas partnerships that we continue to build. We also work very closely with colleagues within Cornwall Council, and enjoy collaboration with all members of our community. 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 travel 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 their artwork is the jewel in the crown of our stylish Bistro Art Gallery, aside that of local artists for all to appreciate. We have an annual art exhibition, where members of the community come and admire the work of our young people. We celebrate talent, skill, effort and difference, and the results of this are evident in every part of the school community. Fundraising activities and competitions that take place across our different Houses bring out the generosity of all members of our Budehaven family. We have a brand new House System for September 2021, which celebrates the work of seven different charities across the country and beyond. Our students compete at a national and international level within sporting competitions; we are incredibly proud of them and we are also grateful for the support that our parents, carers and other members of our community give to our students. The musical talents of our students are stunning, ranging from the Jazz Band to the Samba Band, steel pans to piano recitals, 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 show an increase in the number of students making good progress every year. They are bright, interested, and interesting, and have shown incredible resilience throughout the covid-19 pandemic, producing some outstanding work, be it at home or back in school where we want them to be! 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. For a number of years we have ranked in the top 20% of Sixth Form providers in the country, and this continues as we expand our provision. 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! If you would like to come and see who we are and what we do, please get in touch! We are very proud to be members of the Budehaven community.
