Chesterton Primary School is a school with a current roll of 173, located in East Chesterton, Cambridge. We opened in September 2013 as an Active Learning Trust Academy, with one reception class. The school has grown year on year and we now have 7 classes. At Chesterton Primary School the children receive the best quality teaching and personalised learning opportunities possible. We support them to develop a love of learning and inspire them to achieve, question and to become independent and motivated individuals. We have high expectations for the children of Chesterton. At Chesterton we have created a vibrant and exciting learning environment and we use it to ensure standards are high and remain high, to provide a rich and diverse curriculum and to instill in our children a desire to do well. Working together with parents and the local community, we want to meet the needs of every child as best we can, and this makes our school a desirable place to be.

Chesterton Primary School and The Active Learning Trust are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people. We expect all staff to actively share this commitment. All adults working in our Trust in whatever capacity will be part of a thorough safer recruitment process. All appointments will be subject pre-employment checks including the taking of satisfactory references and enhanced criminal record clearance in line with the need to create and maintain a safe culture.
