Buckden Church of England Primary Academy (Primary Academy Trust) is a vibrant and welcoming primary school. We pride ourselves on being a school that is at the heart of the local community, having strong links with our local parish church of St Mary’s and the local community of Buckden.

As a Church of England school, we place an emphasis on the development of the whole child – both academically, spiritually, physically and mentally. The school has a strong Christian ethos, underpinned by a core set of aims and values developed by our wider community.

Our school was rated 'Good' in all areas in April 2025, and we are continually striving to improve and ‘do things better’. We continue to work tirelessly on the development of the school for the benefit of all stakeholders. Our primary focus is and will always be to continue to raise standards, whilst also endeavouring to provide a broader, stimulating and more engaging curriculum for everyone in our school. We believe each and every child deserves the best possible start to education that they can have. Our pupil admitted number (PAN) is 350 and we are two form entry, therefore our class sizes are around 25. 

Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision. Reading our school prospectus is just one part of making that decision. Should you feel, having read this, that there are some important unanswered questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
