Godmanchester Community Academy, where everyone
Part of
ACES Academies Trust
As the name suggests, the school lies at the heart of this well established and vibrant town. It is here that the youngest members of the community take their first steps towards adult life; where they make and learn to keep friends; learn to read, write and work with numbers and develop knowledge, skills and curiosity about the world they are growing up in.

The best type of 2pm meeting…the prize winning tea party for the mystery object challenge was a huge success. Laughter and excitement filled the office as we shared stories, poems, facts, drawings, models and cake and hot chocolate!#gcacreativity #gcavalues #gcarewards https://t.co/viJetlPI0r
The rain held off to allow KS2 to enjoy some quick sticks hockey with Mr Partridge @Primary_S_S over lunchtime today. Active lunchtimes help in so many ways #gcawellbeing #gcasport https://t.co/uFuGGOdiD5

This photo represents the hard work of three year six girls who respectfully raised a concern with the school’s decision to ban earrings. They put forward a convincing case and as a result the school have reconsidered their view. #gcahardwork #gcadebate #gcavalues https://t.co/X43yuyJOPI
A huge thank you to @AngelaMakey at Niche Comics for helping to organise our workshop with authors Steve May and James Turner. The children had an absolute blast #gcareads #gcaenglish #childrensbooks #poocrewadventures https://t.co/Dytg9EeysN

We cannot wait to start exploring our new outdoor science classroom. Featuring seating, a pond and plenty of plants we are hoping it will become a haven for wildlife. Thank you to A&K Builders and Godmanchester Nursery for your support in creating this #gcaeco #gcascience https://t.co/IQqSSCqx0b
During our assembly today, the pupils turned into detectives trying to identify my mystery object. They heard clues including a riddle before taking their guesses. I’ve now challenged them to produce something creative inspired by the object-a typewriter #aces_creativity https://t.co/1fPJSSrONm
We pride ourselves on being a safe and caring environment for all our pupils. We discuss the importance of a network of support with regularly and everyone produces a network hand to signpost their trusted adults. #gcapshe #gcavalues https://t.co/etBDHXQFKV
