About Coleridge Community College

Coleridge Community College sits within the Cambridgeshire local authority, a secondary school for 11 to 16 year olds in Cambridge. In the local rankings by Progress 8, it places 6th out of 8 schools in the Cambridge area, putting it in the 75th percentile among its immediate peers. The top-performing schools nearby include Chesterton Community College, St Bede's Inter-Church School, and Sawston Village College, all of which post higher Progress 8 scores. Coleridge is a mixed, non-religious state school with 571 pupils, just under its capacity of 600. Over a third of its students are eligible for free school meals, at 36.8%, which is notably above the national average. The school has no sixth form, so students move on elsewhere after Year 11. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, a graded visit in 2019, rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. An ungraded inspection in December 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained.
