About Northstowe Learning Community (NLC)

Northstowe Learning Community brings together:

An 11-16 secondary school (NSC)

Northstowe Sixth Form (NSF)

Northstowe Primary School (NPS)

Situated on the Northstowe Education Campus, NLC is co-located with the Trust’s Martin Bacon Academy. This specialist provision provides an innovative experience for its sixth form students through full integration with the Northstowe Sixth Form. This creates a vibrant educational hub where inclusion, collaboration, and excellence are central to the student experience.

From September 2026, the school contains:

Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes (as the primary continues to grow year-on-year to eventually reach its full 3FE and 630 pupil capacity)

Approximately 830 students in Years 7-11 (as the secondary continues to expand to its eventual 12FE / 1800 PAN capacity)

Around 115 sixth form students across Years 12 and 13. The Sixth Form will grow over time to reach its capacity of 400.

NLC continues to grow rapidly in step with the new town of Northstowe, which will eventually be home to around 30,000 residents accommodated in up to 10,000 homes. The school is deliberately designed to play a key role in the provision of community facilities to reflect the Cambridgeshire Village College ethos.

Our Journey So Far

Northstowe Secondary College opened in 2019 with its first Year 7 cohort of just 71 students. In September 2024, the addition of both primary and sixth form phases marked a major milestone in our development and the school was renamed Northstowe Learning Community to reflect its expanded and unified identity.

With the recent completion of Phase 2 of our building programme, NLC now features:

An additional new specialist block for 11-16 education

A state-of-the-art primary school building

A purpose-built sixth form centre

Phase 3 will commence once further housing development is confirmed. Once complete, Northstowe Learning Community will be one of the largest schools in the East of England, with capacity for approximately 2,800 students from Reception through to Year 13. The campus aims to serve all ages and abilities, taking a lead role in bringing people together to create a sustainable and empowered local community.
