Our School
We are a small, one-form entry primary school, approximately six miles west of Cambridge. With a capacity of up to 210 pupils, we serve the local communities of Caldecote, Childerley, and surrounding villages.
We work hard to create a warm and welcoming environment that is 'a home away from home', where each child and their family feel welcome and understood.
Our school is an integral part of the CB23 network; a hub that connects us with local schools to share expertise and best practises, and create opportunities for children to collaborate in exciting activities and competitive events. We actively foster strong, positive partnerships with Comberton Village and Cambourne Colleges, ensuring a seamless transition for our Year 6 pupils as they progress in their education. These relationships enrich our curriculum and provide pupils with enhanced learning opportunities, support networks, and a clear pathway for their academic and personal development within the wider educational community.
We are fortunate to have wonderful grounds that provide a rich and inspiring backdrop for learning. Our outdoor spaces—including a large field, woodland areas and natural habitats—offer opportunities to bring our commitment to sustainability to life in meaningful ways. We actively integrate our surroundings into the curriculum and daily school life, enabling pupils to develop a deep understanding of environmental care and climate responsibility.
Our before and after school and holiday provision, called Care Clubs, enhances our partnership with families and places us at the heart of the community. Our services provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment beyond the classroom, ensuring continuity of care and learning. Through supporting our working parents’ childcare needs and offering pupils additional opportunities for social interaction and creative play, our Care Clubs foster a strong sense of belonging, enjoyment and wellbeing. This extended provision strengthens community ties and reinforces our commitment to holistic support for every child and family connected to our school and beyond.
