Schools in Huntingdon

The historic county town of Huntingdonshire and birthplace of Oliver Cromwell, Huntingdon sits in Cambridgeshire on the banks of the Great Ouse, ninety miles north of central London.

Granted its town charter by King John in 1205, the compact market town retains a traditional centre and draws families seeking a quieter pace alongside good schooling. Brampton and Kimbolton are among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments, with Abbots Ripton appealing to families who want village primaries within easy reach. Sawtry and Bury extend the residential fringe northward. Around 25,000 people live in the town today, and Great Northern services on the East Coast Main Line reach Peterborough in around seventeen minutes.
