Wyton on the Hill Primary is located in the heart of Cambridgeshire and is situated alongside RAF Wyton. The school is a recently built, modern building which includes spacious classrooms and outdoor areas. We try to create a welcoming, inclusive environment focused on learning, inclusion, and pupil achievement with strong home-school partnerships and pastoral support. With a large percentage of military children and close links with the local base, we focus strongly on transition to help ensure continuity for those children joining and leaving our school.
