In the Cambridge area, it ranks 5th out of 26 primary schools, placing it in the top 25% locally.

The most recent Ofsted inspection, conducted in July 2025, did not assign an overall effectiveness grade, but the school received Outstanding ratings for early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management.

This marks a clear improvement from the previous inspection in 2019, where early years provision was rated Requires Improvement and overall effectiveness was Good.
