Join Our St Alban's Family - spaces still available (closing date 15th January 2027)
At St Alban's Catholic Primary School, we are proud to be a welcoming, nurturing, and vibrant school community where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish.
Rooted in our Catholic faith, we work closely with families and our parish community to provide an excellent education alongside strong pastoral care, helping children grow academically, spiritually, and socially. Visitors often comment on our warm atmosphere, happy pupils, dedicated staff, and strong sense of belonging.
If you are looking for a Catholic education for your child, then St Alban's Catholic Primary School is the school for you. We are committed to helping every child achieve their full potential while living out Gospel values in a caring and supportive environment.
We currently have places available in some year groups and would be delighted to welcome new families into our school community. Whether you are new to the area or considering a change of school, we invite you to come and see St Alban's in action and experience first-hand what makes our school so special.
To arrange a visit or find out more, please contact the school office (office@stalbans.cambs.sch.uk). If you wish to apply for a place, please contact the school office for a Supplementary Information Form (SIF) and further admissions guidance.
We would be delighted to meet you and show you around our wonderful school.
Together, as a school, parish, and community, we help our children thrive, achieve, and grow in faith.
Everyone is welcome, and we encourage families to share this opportunity with friends, relatives, and neighbours who may be looking for a warm, caring Catholic school community for their child.
