Steeple Morden Primary School is a village school in the south west corner of Cambridgeshire, close to the Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire borders.  Our catchment area covers Steeple Morden, Litlington, Abington Pigotts and Odsey but our current roll includes children from other local towns and villages.

​We are a Church of England (Voluntary Controlled) Primary School and we aim to serve our community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice.  We welcome children of all faiths, and none, and we aim to create a community of tolerance and acceptance.  We are actively supported by our local community and a dedicated Parent and Teacher Association (PTA). 

We believe our pupils should have every opportunity to achieve high academic standards and develop awareness of social and moral values.  We provide a secure and stimulating environment where children and adults can work productively.  Relationships are very important to us and the relationships we develop with our children, their families, our community and the wider world enable us to create a warm, caring and happy school where everyone is included.

The Headteacher and governors of Steeple Morden Primary School are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
