Community

The school community

The curriculum is enriched by providing extra curricular activities such as swimming, football, dance, nature detectives, film club, gardening club, safer cycling and individual music tuition. 

A wide range of visits and visitors further enhances the curriculum and extends pupils' learning. Visits are made to places of local and national interest such as: the parish church, other local schools, heritage properties, Cambridge and London. 

The school has strong links with the local community, which provides speakers and leaders for assembly and Collective Worship, and with members of the wider community, the police, nurses and other specialists who come and visit. An annual residential visit by pupils in years 5 and 6 helps to promote cultural, social and adventure education.

The school works closely with the village pre-school, and the other four local primary schools, which feed into the local secondary school, Bassingbourn Village College. This ensures that pupils' transition from one stage of their education to another is smooth and effective. The school is part of the Bassingbourn, Melbourn and Gamlingay (BeMAG) cluster of schools. 

Out of School Club

The Out Of School Club provides reasonably priced childcare before and after school in term time, from 8am to 6pm, on the school premises. It is run by an independent committee, with paid staff. The club offers a variety of stimulating and enjoyable activities throughout the year and also runs holiday sessions.

School Council

The school council meets regularly, under the guidance of Mrs Gwen Worboys, one of our teaching assistants. Each class has 2 elected representatives who report back to their classes.
