Previously a community school administered by Cornwall Council, in November 2012 Budehaven became a foundation trust school as part of the Bude Communities’ Schools’ Trust.[2] The trust includes Bude Infant School, Bude Junior School, Jacobstow Community Primary School, Kilkhampton Junior and Infant School, Marhamchurch CE Primary School, St Marks CE Primary School, Stratton Primary School and Whitstone Community Primary School.[3]
Budehaven Community School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.[4] Budehaven Leisure Centre is located next to the school, and pupils at the school have full use of the sports facilities during the day, while the centre is open to the local community in the evenings and weekends.[5]
