Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.2/10 Broadly average

72nd of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,328 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2/10 among them, against 5.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 63.0 · 46 40% 1.86

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.2 out of 10 among them, against 5.2 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access the Cambridge Kids Club, swimming, daily runs, BMX, horse riding, and wake boarding. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 200 pupils in a facility with 154 places, meaning it is over capacity by 46. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating 46 places over its limit, how does the admissions process handle new applications? How does the curriculum support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific support is available for children joining mid-year?

Your offer chance

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
