"Excellent school and values"

We've been thoroughly impressed with Bude Primary Academy - Juniors. The values of kindness, care, and teamwork are evident in the way the children interact with each other and with staff. The PE curriculum is also really engaging and the facilities are great.

"Wonderful school experience"

Our daughter has had a fantastic time at Bude Primary Academy - Juniors. The school day is well-structured, the teachers are caring and knowledgeable, and the Active Me, Healthy Me program is a highlight of the week. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the communication between teachers and parents could be improved.

"A good, if not great, experience"

My daughter attended Bude Primary Academy - Juniors a few years ago and had a generally positive experience. The facilities are nice and the teachers were mostly good. However, I felt that the school didn't do enough to support children who were struggling, particularly in the lower year groups.
