Budo Junior School and King’s College Budo were at the same campus where there is King’s College today. When the population of primary rose, senior section had no space for expansion. The extension was made by establishing Budo Junior School on 10 acres of land at Kabinja – Budo as a new site for the School on 30th June 1958 under the Governing Body of Church of Uganda (Anglican Church) with 300 pupils. The core purpose for Budo Junior School was to train children of Nobles and Kings, but later other citizen’s children were provided a chance to be trained as honest, trustworthy, sympathetic, patriotic and respectful citizens.
