Welcome to Godmanchester Community Academy
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.
