Cavalry Primary School is situated in the town of March in the heart of
Fenland. We currently have 420 children on roll and a further 75
children attend our nursery on a part time basis
Our catchment area is very mixed but many of our children come
from low income households. We believe that we have built a school
which serves the interests of all the children very well. Our Ofsted
reports of 2010, 2013 and 2019 tell the story of the school’s journey
and we are very proud of what they tell prospective staff and parents
about the school community.
