Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
2.6/10 Below average

167th 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 4,325 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 3.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 43.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7 out of 10 among them, against 3.8 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Dodgeball, Karate, Netball, Tag Rugby, Sport Stacking, Table Tennis, Hockey, and Cricket clubs, alongside Running, Mini Athletics, Yoga, and Dance.

Getting in. The school has 96 pupils in a capacity of 120, leaving 24 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between the 43.0% expected standard and the 64% national median? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for parents needing extended care?
