Is it perfect? No. The parking situation is a nightmare from the underworld. Think gridlock, minivans, and a lot of polite, passive-aggressive honking. Oh, and the uniform list reads like a Victorian tailor’s invoice. White shirts with specific cuff lengths? Yes. Ridiculous? Also yes.

Archdeacon Cambridge’s C of E Primary isn’t a school that tries to be everything to everyone. It’s a school that knows exactly who it is: a little stone house of learning, built on old values, but filled with new ideas. If you want a place that nurtures the whole child—head, heart, and that slightly weird purple sun part—this might just be it.
