Schools in Bude
Bude is a coastal town in North Cornwall with 7 primary schools and 1 secondary school administered by Cornwall Council. Cornwall has no grammar school system; all secondary places are allocated by distance from the school's admissions point after siblings and looked-after children. Two faith schools in the Bude area apply Church of England religious criteria.
Bude's secondary school, Budehaven Community School, serves the town and a wide rural catchment in North Cornwall and North Devon. Given the rural nature of the area, some pupils travel significant distances. Cornwall Council publishes its full admissions prospectus each autumn and coordinates applications through its central portal.
