Buckden is a Church of England primary school. It is nowcalled a Church of England (Anglican) Primary Academy (Primary Academy Trust). Academy schools are state-funded schools in England which are directly funded by the Department for Education and independent of local authority control. The terms of the arrangements are set out in individual Academy Funding Agreements. Most are secodary schools, but there are sucstanial numbers of primary schools. They do not have to follow the Natioinal Curruiculum. Thedy do have to ensure that their curriculum is broad and balanced. The school is located in Buckden, a village and civil parish north of St Neots and south-west of Huntingdon. It is located in Huntingdonshire, a non-metropolitan district of Cambridgeshire and a historic county. The school is at the heart of the local community, with strong links with the local parish church of St Mary�s and the local community of Buckden. The school has a strong Christian ethos. We have no historic information about the school. We do note a scene from a school inspection, we think in the 1970s.
