We are a small, friendly Primary School situated in South Cambridgeshire, close to the borders of Hertfordshire, Essex and Suffolk. The school buildings are set in beautiful countryside overlooking village playing fields and open farmland beyond.
The school serves the parishes of Fowlmere, Great Chishill, Heydon and Chrishall Grange with transport provided for villages outside Fowlmere. We are a happy and inclusive school with a committed team of staff who want children to enjoy coming to school and be excited to learn.
With the support of our Governing Body we have high expectations for all children and work hard to meet their needs. We are very proud of our children and all those who help them learn. Please explore our website to find out a little more about us. If you are looking for a school place for your children and would like to visit, you would be most welcome.
