A very warm welcome to Archdeacon Cambridge’s CE Primary School. We are a Church of England school with close links to Holy Trinity Church, Twickenham.

We are a very caring, vibrant, supportive and welcoming school where each child is valued for who they are, not what they can do. Every child will be given the best possible opportunities to achieve their full potential, not only academically but also personally, spiritually, morally, creatively and physically.

I hope you will get a feel for the school – its size, how our children learn, our many outdoor learning areas and how we live out our vision:

‘Be happy and love learning, confident in our faith. Do everything in love’.

                                                                               (1 Corinthians 16:13-14)

Miss F Lambe - Headteacher

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens.

Archdeacon Cambridge’s CE Primary is an Anglican school where everyone is encouraged to do their very best. Following a day spent together exploring, discussing and agreeing what is best for our school, our Vision was agreed by staff and Governors. The vision we share is at the heart of all we do and is the basis on which we work with all members of the school community.
