LOCATION

Northstowe is one of the UK’s largest new towns, situated between Cambridge and St Ives and built directly alongside the Guided Busway, offering rapid, reliable connections to Cambridge city centre. The A14 provides excellent road access, and the Busway’s fully segregated cycle path is one of the safest and most convenient cycling routes in Cambridgeshire, linking Northstowe with Longstanton, Oakington, St Ives and Cambridge.

Designed with a modern, sustainable focus, Northstowe features extensive green corridors, lakes, wide pavements, play parks, sports pitches, community buildings and an expanding range of shops and cafés. Facilities already include primary schools, a secondary college, a community centre, sports pavilion, GP practice, retail outlets and dedicated cycling and walking infrastructure. As the town grows, additional amenities—including leisure facilities and a town centre—are being delivered in phased development.

Northstowe has multiple primary schools, each well regarded locally, and secondary education is provided by Northstowe Secondary College (Ofsted Good). Swavesey Village College (Ofsted Outstanding) is also accessible for some catchments. With safe cycling routes throughout the area and direct access to the Busway, school journeys are simple and secure.
