St Budeaux Foundation Church Of England Junior School is a voluntary-aided religious junior school in the St Budeaux area of Plymouth, England, for pupils aged 7–11. The head teacher is Robin Jones; there are 190 pupils.[1] It will be celebrating its 300th Birthday in May 2017.

Founded in 1717 as the Saint Budeaux Foundation School, it is one of the oldest schools in the area.[2][3] Indeed, the school's website considers it might be the oldest free school in Britain.[4] 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.[3][5] 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.[6] Following the 1944 Education Act it became the Saint Budeaux Foundation Church of England Junior School.[7] A new building was provided in 1981 because the previous building was needing to be demolished due to road building.[8]

A book about the school On A Firm Foundation Social History Of The Charity School Founded In 1717 On The Green At St Budeaux Plymouth by Olive Dickinson has been published.
