Still, Burwell lies within the catchment for both Bottisham Village College and Soham Village College secondary schools, the latter rating as outstanding by Ofsted. Additionally, the proximity to Cambridge means that some families opt for private education, with renowned institutions such as <strong>The Leys School</strong> and <strong>The Perse School</strong> being just a short commute.
