Education

Trumpington Meadows will have its own primary school, and there are several secondary state schools in the area, including St Bede's Inter-Church School, The Manor (a foundation school with a performing arts specialism), Chesterton Community College and a number of village colleges. And with Cambridge's illustrious academic heritage, it will come as no surprise that it has some of the country's finest independent schools, including The Perse and The Leas.

State provision in the further education sector includes Hills Road Sixth Form College, Long Road Sixth Form College and Cambridge Regional College.

The University of Cambridge needs little introduction, being the second oldest university in the English-speaking world, not to mention one of the world's most respected educational and research establishments. In 2010 it became the first non-US university to be No 1 in the prestigious QS World University Rankings.

Anglia Ruskin University offers a wide range of practical degrees relevant to the needs of industry and the professions. It has over 20,000 students spread over two campuses in Cambridge and Chelmsford.
