Educate

Cambourne has excellent educational facilities for its young residents. The Just Learning Day Nursery is very well equipped and can look after up to 100 babies and toddlers. The nursery is next door to Monkfield School and is happy to welcome children of employees working on Cambourne Business Park.

Monkfield Park Primary School moved into its brand new building on School Lane, Great Cambourne in March 2000. It will eventually cater for 420 pupils from 4 to 11 years of age. The school, which has been designed to deliver a curriculum appropriate to the educational and technological needs of the 21st century, received an excellent OFSTEAD inspection report in February 2001.  It has a well respected reputation as a centre of excellence for its ICT facilities, and has been grouped in the top 25% of schools in the country by its 2001 OFSTED Report.

The Vine Inter-Church Primary School opened in Upper Cambourne in September 2005. The school is currently using temporary class room while work continues on the permanent buildings.
The voluntary aided school, jointly supported by the Church of England and the Methodist Church, will grow to cater for 420 pupils aged 4-11 over the coming years. The Headteacher, Debbie Higham, can be contacted on 01954 719630 or emailed at office@thevine.cambs.sch.uk

For children aged 11 to 16 the nearby Comberton Village College offers an excellent education opportunity. The school is being expanded to accommodate the Cambourne community. It has long been regarded as one of the best schools in Cambridgeshire and last year it became one of only 250 schools in the country to be designated as a Beacon School. This acknowledges the fact that the school is viewed as outstanding by the Department for Education and Skills.

The strength of this educational infrastructure will ensure companies based on Cambourne Business Park will benefit from the availability of a skilled workforce whose own children's education can be provided to a very high standard locally.
