History[]

Founded in 1717 as the Saint Budeaux Foundation School, it is the oldest school in the area.[3][4] Indeed, the school's website considers it might be the oldest free school in Britain.[5] Originally for twelve children, in 1801 it was relocated to the Church Green poorhouse and in 1834 it became a national school, the Saint Budeaux National School, managed by the National Society for the Promotion of the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the Established Church.[4][6] In 1903 the School became a "non-provided" School under the 1902 Education Act, then becoming named the Saint Budeaux Church of England Elementary School.[7] Following the 1944 Education Act it became the Saint Budeaux Foundation Church of England Junior School.[8] A new building was provided in 1981 because the previous building was needing to be demolished due to road building.[9]
