Thinking of joining us?

As one of the oldest schools in Plymouth, St. Budeaux has served the local community for over 300 years. Currently it takes children from the age of seven but from September 2023, it will be able to serve more members of the community as it opens to children from the age of two years and onwards.

Children who are due to start school in September 2023 will be able to apply for a place at St. Budeaux.

An exciting transformation of classroom spaces and play areas has begun. The new early years’ area will be bright and purposeful with adjoining spaces and outside areas for children to access with their teachers. We are creating a truly lovely learning environment for our new pupils. Combine that with our plans to enhance and broaden the curriculum and St. Budeaux children will get a real head-start on their educational journey and be well prepared for the future.

We welcome visits from parents and children who are considering applying for a place here, as this is a great opportunity for you to see what we have to offer. (Visits are not a compulsory part of the admissions process and will not affect decisions on whether a place can be offered at our school.)

If you would like to arrange a tour, please email us on admin@sbfs.plymouth.sch.uk or alternatively please call 01752 365217 .
