We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

One of the standout features is the quality of schooling.
Upper Cambourne benefits from highly regarded primary schools, such as The Vine Inter-Church Primary School (rated Good by Ofsted) and nearby options like Hardwick and Cambourne Community Primary.
These feed into Cambourne Village College , which achieved an Outstanding rating across all areas in its March 2025 Ofsted inspection, including quality of education, behaviour, personal development, leadership, and sixth form provision.
The school is known for its ambitious curriculum and nurturing environment, and it has strong links to the high-performing Comberton Village College academy chain.

Extensive pedestrian and cycle networks make walking and cycling to local schools, shops, and facilities very convenient.
Looking ahead, the ambitious Cambourne to Cambridge (C2C) busway project continues to progress, with plans for a dedicated, faster link that would significantly enhance public transport reliability and journey times to major employment and education hubs in Cambridge.
Overall, Upper Cambourne combines family-friendly living with excellent schools and improving connectivity, all wrapped in a green, modern new-town setting — making it a smart choice for those wanting space, community, and long-term potential.
