Barton CE (VA) Primary School is a small, friendly, successful village school, serving children from the catchment villages of Barton and Grantchester, as well as attracting families from Cambridge and the surrounding areas. The current roll is 117. Although we are a small school, our vision is to give our pupils the biggest opportunities. We aim for a balanced, broad and exciting curriculum, engaging pupils with the exploration of different topics in depth. We pride ourselves on our inclusive family atmosphere, and on our ability to combine the excitement of learning with high expectations for all. We have strong links to the Church and local community, which warmly welcome our involvement. Our recent GOOD Ofsted in April 2025 stated “Pupils thrive in this calm, inclusive school where care and curiosity go hand in hand. The school’s values shape daily life, helping children feel safe, seen and proud of who they are. The school offers a broad, rich curriculum. It captures pupils’ interests and prepares them well for their future learning. Teachers have high expectations and pupils speak with confidence about their learning. They enjoy opportunities to explore ideas, solve problems and express themselves.”
Shortlisting will be on Monday 9th March 2026
