Welcome to St. Andrew’s College Cambridge
St. Andrew’s College is a dynamic co-educational boarding and day school, rooted in tradition but forward in spirit. This simple description, while accurate, only hints at the depth and richness of life here.
What truly defines us is our community, one that is inclusive, caring and deeply connected. At St. Andrew’s, every student is seen, heard, and supported. Our size allows us to offer a personal approach, where each young person is recognised not only for what they achieve, but for who they are. From the moment they arrive, our pupils become part of a nurturing environment where relationships are strong, and every individual matters.
We believe that education is not just about exam results, it’s about developing confident, curious and compassionate young people, equipped to face the world with resilience and purpose. Our values of Respect, Creativity, and Resilience are woven into every part of school life. These timeless principles guide us in preparing students for a world that is constantly evolving.
Our location in the heart of Cambridge places us in a unique position. Surrounded by a city renowned for academic excellence, innovation and culture, our students are inspired to reach higher, think deeper and explore more widely. Learning here takes many forms, from lessons and labs to music, Arts, sport, and community events. Each day is an opportunity to discover, grow and contribute.
We also know that education works best when it’s a shared journey. At St. Andrew’s, we place great value on strong partnerships with families. Through open communication and mutual trust, we work alongside parents to support every student’s development, academically, socially and emotionally. Together, we help each pupil flourish and build a foundation for life.
We invite you to visit and see for yourself what makes our college so special. Come and experience the warmth, the energy, and the sense of purpose that define our community.
I look forward to welcoming you personally.
