Headteacher: Mr Richard Bakker
Histon & Impington Brook Primary School (formerly Histon & Impington Junior School) is the lead school within Cambridge Primary Education Trust (CPET). In 2009, it was designated as a National Support School and began working with other schools beginning with Hatton Park Primary School which led to the formation of the multi-academy trust in 2012.
Histon & Impington Brook Primary School is graded ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted, has had national Teaching School Status and, from February 2021, was designated as the Teaching School Hub for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough schools. As the school transitions to an all through primary, the number on roll is around 480 (Reception, and Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) but will be moving towards a two form entry with 420 children in the next two years.
Histon & Impington Brook Primary School is situated in a very attractive location in the centre of the village of Histon and admits children mainly from Histon and Impington plus several of the neighbouring villages. As a school in the heart of the village, we are privileged to work very closely with the local community.
As a new Headteacher to our school, you will enjoy working with a fabulous group of children and staff who all care greatly about our school. All of our staff, parents/carers and SAB members work exceptionally hard to achieve the highest standards and best educational experience that is possible for our children – they are at the heart of all that we do - and we look forward to welcoming you to lead us into the next phase of our journey.
