About The Vine Inter-Church Primary School

Our Vision prayer highlights our school’s mission to create pupils and international citizens who make the world a better place. We strive to follow the guidance given by Jesus in a global context. We believe that we need to support the development of the whole person, nurturing strong self-esteem, self-knowledge and self-responsibility. Spirituality comes through making faith live and helping others. We believe strongly in developing children who have a love for the arts and vocational fields, who have strong basic skills and are able to take pride in themselves as a British and international citizen. We develop courageous advocacy in pupils following the example of John Wesley and believe in international collaboration, mirroring Anglicanism as a global church.

We are a larger than average primary school (408) with a pre-school class (42) situated in the new build development of Cambourne. The school opened in 2005 and has been rated Good by Ofsted since 2010. We have an Outstanding SIAMS (10/11/2015) and are a dual Methodist and Anglican school. In 2021/22 our national data outcomes were far above national in all areas (GLD 75% phonics 98%; KS1 RWM 75%; KS2 RWM 74%- including reading at 92% and greater depth reading 31%). 2021/22 data link

Pupils of The Vine are known locally for being good citizens. They actively support worthwhile causes and take a lead in organising charitable activities both locally and nationally, due to deliberately planned and spontaneous opportunities. The Vine curriculum is broad and exciting, the core & foundation subjects are well taught, our curriculum is rooted in basic skills and our values of internationalism and advocacy. 43 languages are spoken, with EAL being above national average at 41%.

The % of children on pupil premium is 18%. Due to the nature of the new build development the vulnerable children at The Vine have a higher-than-average level of emotional need -over 68% of our pupils are monitored due to having a potential vulnerability indicator (up from 65% in 20-21).

Many of our pupils have been rehoused in Cambourne from the city, & consequently have moved away from support networks, resulting in vulnerable families being isolated within a community that is more affluent around them. 16% of pupils have SEND and 7 have an EHCP

Our attendance before and during the pandemic (94%) has consistently been well above national (88%), with a focus on vulnerable groups (SEN 95% (national SEN 82%), FSM 93% (national FSM 84%) due to praise, rewards and persistence
