In 1867 the Vicar of the Parish, William Martin, started a church day school, having obtained a government grant and financial support from New College and Lord Hardwicke.  A classroom was added in 1872 and by 1880 average attendance was between 95 and 120.

 

In the 1890s, evening classes in subjects including: drawing, history, and commercial arithmetic, were held but attendance fell from 41 in 1894 to 16 in 1898.  The day school's attendance fell from 85 in 1914 to 63 in 1922 and then to 30 in 1938.  This would have been partly to do with a council school being built in Odsey, north of the railway station, in 1911 for 80 children, but this also declined in attendance from 61 in 1914 to around 30 after 1925. 

​

From 1954, the older children from both schools went to Bassingbourn Village College. The Odsey school was closed in 1972, when the village school, with over 90 pupils, needed additional buildings.   

​

We now have around 160 pupils on roll, split across seven classes; with a maximum of 30 children per class.  ​
