Whittlesford is a beautiful village situated 7 miles south of Cambridge. The school is a voluntary controlled Church of England School of 213 pupils. In 2024, OFSTED graded our school as good and outstanding in Behaviour & Attitudes.
Our Mission Statement is “To strive for excellence by enabling our children to fulfil their true potential through a creative and challenging curriculum within a Christian environment.”
All staff are committed to our vision "Let your Light Shine" by using our gifts and talents to support others. Our values, which have been crafted by all members of our community, are positivity, kindness, respect, self-control, self-worth and celebration. As well as striving for excellence, we provide our pupils with a strong moral framework which helps them to grow as honest, caring and thoughtful people.
During our most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, the inspector commented, “This is a school whose values are well known and lived by everyone. Pupils’ behaviour is outstanding. They are polite and kind towards each other. The oldest pupils take care and pride in looking after the youngest children. Pupils respect teachers and other adults, not least because of the example that staff set in showing good manners and in keeping everyone safe. As a result, pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school."
