All the classes at Gamlingay Village Primary are named after birds to celebrate our proximity to the RSPB headquarters at nearby Sandy.
Due to the class structure of the school our curriculum is organised as a two-year cycle. Please find information regarding which topics are taught each year in the download in the panel on the side of this page.
