About Parkside

Parkside Federation Academies runs two relatively small secondary schools in Cambridge; Parkside Community College and Coleridge Community School. Around 600 pupils attend each campus. The Federation also operate a primary school located on the Parkside Campus, Ridgefield Primary School.

The leadership at Parkside is committed to creating and sustaining small scale learning communities that enable children and young people to be known as individuals. Every student has a Learning Mentor who looks after no more than 15 pupils. Each pupil’s Learning Mentor works with them to help them to succeed in lessons and other activities. An integrated timetable allows students to access the specialist facilities on each campus for examination courses or extra-curricular activities.
