The school was constructed in 2003 with a capacity of 200 students; however the present population is 257 students, the principal, thirteen (13) teachers and six (6) ancillary staff members.

The focus of the Buccoo Government School has been to provide each student with a holistic education with a strong emphasis on reading, communication, critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Students are expected to function in a clean, stimulating comfortable enabling environment supported by high quality direct instructions.

The school has had its challenges over the past eight (8) years as there have been a series of transitional issues especially at the leadership position with the latest change being in 2012. This has been addressed by the present leadership through the creation of a collaborative, highly motivating, date driven, child centered work space.
