School profile

North Cambridge Academy

North Cambridge Academy (NCA) is part of Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust (CMAT). The school currently has 450 pupils (11-16). We have secured year on year positive progress in the five years of North Cambridge Academy and have undergone transformational change to the pastoral system and curriculum. Indeed, the outcomes for pupils have been transformed with regard to achievement and progress. North Cambridge Academy had a progress score in 2017 of +0.30 and for 2018 +0.32 and is in the top 20% of schools nationally for progress and the top 4% for progress in schools of our type. Ofsted graded NCA as ‘Good’ following the two previous inspections, the last one being January 2019. You are looking at a small school where staff make a profound difference to children’s life chances.

North Cambridge Academy moved into a brand new state of the art £10 million building 3 years ago, which affords us an excellent working and learning environment. We have established partnerships with high profile Cambridge businesses, Cambridge University and a number of sporting organisations whose facilities are on-site, such as the purpose built fully equipped gymnastics facility.
