About Guilden Morden CofE Primary Academy

Guilden Morden CofE Primary Academy is a small village school in South Cambridgeshire that stands out for its strong parent satisfaction, but its academic outcomes are harder to benchmark directly. The school has no published Key Stage 2 SATs results in the data, so we cannot compare its headline metrics against the Cambridgeshire local authority average of 58 percent for expected standard in reading, writing and maths. What we do know is that the school is rated Good by Ofsted across all areas in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2015. The school is oversubscribed, with 14 applications for 5 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and all 5 first-preference applicants were offered a place, giving a ratio of 2. 8 applicants per place. This suggests strong local demand, even without exam data to compare against the LA average.
