The Setting
The School is located in leafy Grange Road, a short walk from the centre of Cambridge and the College, at the heart of which sits the Chapel - home to the internationally renowned College Chapel Choir. Over the last few years our school has undergone significant rebuilding and redevelopment to ensure the facilities, layout and fabric of the buildings fully support the delivery of the School’s ethos. The School occupies two sites - Byron House and Senior House, some 200 yards apart, across Grange Road from the extensive playing fields owned by and shared with St John’s College.

Byron House provides outstanding facilities including specialist Music, Art/DT, Computing facilities, a Junior Library, Drama/Assembly Room, a Hall/Stage/Dining Room/Gymnasium, Individual and small group teaching rooms. The Forest Garden has at its centre a circular teaching space and our Kindergarten children enjoy Forest School Fridays in this specially designed spacious outdoor area.

The Senior House site houses boys and girls aged 9 - 13 (approximately 230 pupils in all). The Senior House site itself has been completely redeveloped in recent years with bespoke classrooms, an outstanding library, a DT and computer control and graphics facility, two Science labs, a Drama studio, Music facilities, a multi-sports court, changing areas and excellent staff facilities. It also contains other specialist facilities such as the swimming pool, Music School, Chapel, theatre and gymnasium.
