In December 2008, the County Council’s Cabinet decided that the Fawcett Federation Group should be awarded the competition to run the new primary school in Trumpington Meadows in Cambridge.
The new school will open on 1 September 2012. There is a possibility that, due to circumstances beyond our control, the new building will not be ready to admit students from the first day of the new school year. In this event, temporary accommodation will be provided on the Fawcett Primary School site for children attending the new school.
Information about the new school can be obtained by contacting the Head of Fawcett Primary School on 01223 840258.
The school will admit 30 children into Reception and each of Years 1 to 6.
Catchment area
A new school to serve the new developments in, and around, Trumpington.
Oversubscription Criteria
Children who have a statement of special educational needs that names the school will be admitted. NB. Those children with a statement of special educational needs that does not name the school will be referred to Student Assessment to determine an appropriate place.

2. Children living in the catchment area with a sibling at the school at the time of admission

In cases of equal merit in each set of criteria, priority will go to children living nearest the school as measured by a straight line.
