Alconbury MS/HS: About Our School

Alconbury Middle High School is located at RAF Alconbury, 70 miles north of London, near the junction of A14 and A1 motorways in Cambridgeshire, England. The nearest local community is Huntingdon.

The first dependents school in the Alconbury area was opened at RAF Molesworth in 1951 and enrolled students in grades 1-9. Grade 10 was added in 1960. The RAF Molesworth school closed in June 1974 and its activities relocated to the present site at RAF Alconbury. Students from RAF Chicksands began attending Alconbury Junior High School in 1976 and ended their tour in 1995. Additional buildings for Automotive Technology, Business Education, and Physical Education were added in 1981. Grades 11 and 12 were added at the start of school year 1981-82, at which time Alconbury became a full high school.

Students in grades 6-12 from RAF Alconbury, RAF Molesworth, and RAF Wyton now attend Alconbury Middle High School.
