About Bewick Bridge Community Primary School

Bewick Bridge Community Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results put it well ahead of the Cambridgeshire average for primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 58%, Bewick Bridge achieved 83% in the 2023/24 academic year. That gap of 25 percentage points is significant and places the school first out of 26 primaries in Cambridge, and sixth across the whole of Cambridgeshire when ranked by the same metric. Nationally, it sits in the top 7% of all primary schools. The school’s Progress 8 scores aren’t available, but the raw attainment data tells a clear story: this is a school where most children are meeting or exceeding the benchmarks that matter for secondary readiness.
