Marleigh Primary Academy

About Marleigh Primary Academy

Marleigh Primary Academy is a state primary school in South Cambridgeshire that currently serves 150 pupils against a total capacity of 472, meaning there is significant room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.3%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, reflecting the relatively affluent catchment area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 45 applications for 30 places, with 30 of those applications listing Marleigh as a first preference. Of those first-preference families, 28 were offered a place, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.5 applicants per place. This level of competition suggests the school has built a solid reputation locally, despite being relatively new. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, catering for children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision available. Headteacher Emily Thompson leads a team that has clearly generated enough confidence among local parents to make Marleigh a popular choice in the area.
