History of the School
St. Andrew's College Cambridge, is the oldest tutorial college in Cambridge. The College was initially founded in 1976 to help students prepare for their A-levels with staff teaching individual subjects in their own homes. The college was extremely successful and, with student numbers increasing rapidly, it soon became clear that a school site would be required. Two buildings were leased on Station road as well as a building on Free School Lane located right in the center of Cambridge off the market square. The college bought a new site on Regent St in 2013.
