Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options
Representation ID: 56924

Respondent: Cambridgeshire County Council
(Education) The Council appreciates the wish to raise Babraham to a ‘Group Village’ as it has a primary school consistent with infrastructure in other Group Villages. The school is currently full to its capacity of 0.5FE/84 places and operates with four classes (it operates a Published Admission Number (PAN) of 12). The school’s site and context mean that it has previously been determined that there is no scope for significant expansion beyond its current size.
Some children currently attend from within Sawston catchment, so displacement of places back to Sawston should be borne in mind with development at Babraham.
