About Fulbourn Primary School

Fulbourn Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for just 40 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.3. All 40 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that while it’s in demand, those who put it top of their list have a strong chance. The school is led by headteacher Beci McCaughran and currently has 264 pupils on roll, well within its capacity of 330. It’s a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11 in South Cambridgeshire, with no religious character. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections.
