About Elsworth CofE VA Primary School

Elsworth CofE VA Primary School is a small Church of England primary in South Cambridgeshire, within the Cambridgeshire local authority. It sits among 210 state primary schools in the LA, and its most recent ranking places it 125th — meaning it falls in the bottom half of the local league table. For context, the top-performing peers nearby include Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, Caldecote Primary School, and Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School, all of which score notably higher on the same KS2 metric. The school itself is rated Good by Ofsted, a grade it has held consistently across both its 2013 graded inspection and its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023, where inspectors confirmed it remains Good. With 130 pupils against a capacity of 140, it is a genuinely small village school, and its 7. 7 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is below the national average, reflecting the relatively affluent local area.
