Fenstanton Primary

Fenstanton Primary school is a richly diverse community which makes it a vibrant, exciting and rich place to learn. Our pupils are proud to be members of Fenstanton Primary School and they are equally proud of their learning and take pride in their achievements.

Inclusion is at the heart of our school and we pride ourselves on identifying and removing barriers to learning so that all pupils, regardless of their ability or starting point, achieve their full potential and develop into intelligent, creative thinkers with a thirst for lifelong learning.

We offer a stimulating, creative curriculum delivered by exceptional practitioners, in a nurturing and inclusive environment, which as well as securing basic skills, aims to motivate and challenge all pupils so that they make exceptional progress in all areas.

Pupil empowerment and pupil voice are embedded throughout our curriculum and pupils are actively involved in shaping their learning. We look forward to seeing how our active pupil leadership teams, which include our School Councillors, Peer Meditators and Pupil Voice team, evolve and how they continue to shape our curriculum and the learning experiences for all pupils at our school.

We are committed to instilling British values and moral purpose and actively promote Gipsy Hill federation’s core values as well as Fenstanton’s core values which include kindness, resilience, aspiration and nurture in everything we do so that our pupils are prepared for life beyond primary school and develop into responsible citizens. We expect all members of our school community to model these values towards one another, so that our school community is a happy and safe place in which all pupils can learn and thrive.

We pride ourselves on high expectations; of ourselves as educationalists and of our pupils. We strive to provide exceptional learning and teaching and raise pupils’ aspirations. Our practitioners support pupils to see difficulties as challenges that they can overcome, which is an important part of the learning process.

Fenstanton Primary is part of The Gipsy Hill Federation, along with Elm Wood Primary, Glenbrook Primary, Kingswood Primary and Paxton Primary
