Schools in Alconbury Weald

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Alconbury Weald is a developing new community on the site of the former RAF Alconbury base in Cambridgeshire, and has 2 schools in the catchment.school database: Ermine Street Church Academy and Prestley Wood Academy. Both are academies, meaning they set their own admissions criteria independently of Cambridgeshire County Council's standard distance-based tiebreakers.

As a growing new settlement, school provision in Alconbury Weald is evolving to meet rising pupil numbers. One school — Ermine Street Church Academy — has a Church of England designation and applies faith criteria ahead of distance. Families without a faith commitment should check the school's published admissions policy to understand where distance criteria begin to apply.
