TO LIVE, TO LEARN, TO LOVE, TOGETHER
This website aims to give you a glimpse of our school, and help you find important information you may need to know about us. We hope that you find our website useful and if you really want to find out what Guyhirn Primary is all about, we encourage you to come and visit us during the school day.
At Guyhirn Primary school we encourage our children to play, learn and grow together. We pride ourselves on creating an environment where both children and adults feel safe and take pride in their school. It is of vital importance to us, that our children feel a sense of belonging where their needs for support, respect and friendship are met.
Our aim is to provide lifelong learning for our children. We encourage them to learn from each other, gaining knowledge from a variety of experiences and sharing that knowledge to discover new things together. We recognize that schools play a central role in preparing our pupils for their future and therefore we use our time effectively, sharing our expertise and passion for learning. As a community we are ambitious and we strive to work together, to ensure our children leave school feeling valued, confident and inquisitive about the world around them and the exciting future ahead of them.
If you would like to come into school to find out more, do not hesitate to call us – we will be happy to make you an appointment. We look forward to meeting and working with you. Happy Exploring

Our vision
To learn. To know. To lead out.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)
Our school was built in 1875 with the National Society making a grant of £80 towards the cost of £718. We are located in Guyhirn, which is a typical English Fenland village, situated on the north bank of the navigable river Nene about twenty miles from the Wash.Over twenty years ago a new bridge was built across the Nene to take the busy A47 Peterborough to Wisbech trunk road away from the centre of the village. The bridge is situated at two very busy road junctions.
Our building has been extended over time to now include a Pre-School. We currently have 74 children in our school and 13 children in our Pre-School. We have recently, September 2021 renamed our classes to incorporate local history into our school.
Pre -School - Nene Class
Moreton Class - Reception and Year 1 children
Marriott Class - Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4
Magdalene Class - Year 5 and Year 6
On the south bank it meets the A141 road to March, Ely and Huntingdon; and on the opposite bank the B1187 takes traffic from the A47 towards Lincolnshire. Guyhirn is also where two important waterways meet. The tidal Nene and the freshwater Moreton's Leam run roughly parallel for twelve miles between Stanground and Guyhirn.
At the site of the new road bridge Moreton's Leam empties into the Nene through a sluice gate. The washland between the two rivers is liable to flood in the winter and spring, and becomes an important site for wildfowl. Moreton's Leam is well used by many local fishermen.
