About The Spinney Primary School

The Spinney Primary School is located within the village of Cherry Hinton on a residential road with good access to village facilities, the beautiful rural countryside and the historic city of Cambridge. It is easily accessible by public transport and the newly upgraded A14 is just a few minutes away giving access to the A14 corridor and beyond. The city centre and train station are an easy cycle ride or short bus journey away.

The Spinney is an average sized primary school with a PAN of 210 pupils from 4-11 with broadly equal numbers of boys and girls. The percentage of pupils eligible for free schools meals (3%) is significantly lower than schools nationally (14%). 48% of pupils are from Minority Ethnic Groups compared to 33% nationally, and 58% of pupils have a first language not believed to be English. Only a small number of pupils have statements for special educational needs/EHC plan, while 3% have SEN support compared with 12% nationally. Stability (83%) is similar to the national average (85%). The school’s deprivation indicator is 0.08 compared to the national indicator of 0.21.

The Spinney is a happy, welcoming, popular and attractive school serving pupils from within the school catchment and beyond. The school is very proud of the linguistic, social, ethnic and cultural diversity of the families we serve and takes an active role in the community. There is a strong focus on raising attainment and achievement for all pupils. The Spinney does not currently have Nursery provision on site and pupils enter from as many as 14 different settings.

The situation of the school on the outskirts of Cambridge City enables opportunities to create meaningful links with both business and academia, to further enable enriching experiences for children in the school. It is in easy reach of the campuses of several large scientific companies and within walking distance of Cherry Hinton Chalk Pits, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. There are also opportunities to create partnerships with Universities and training providers in the area to support both research and staff development.
