From the Melbourn Village College
We are a very successful 11–16 school with a strong sense of community and academic achievement. Because of our small, every student may thrive in a friendly setting where they all feel respected and empowered. Students are urged to continue learning outside of the classroom, and a large percentage of them participate in the many extracurricular activities that are offered to them. We are dedicated to doing things better and strive to be the best at whatever we do. One important component of this continuous improvement is the exchange of concepts and best practises among colleagues within The Cam Academy Trust. Future visits from you and your child are something I'm looking forward to. At Melbourn Village College, we firmly believe in the Henry Morris principle of lifelong learning and the importance of placing education at the centre of the neighbourhood. We aim to develop the full potential and value the success of every individual child, helping them to develop the skills that will equip them for life-long learning in a changing society. Students are encouraged to remember that 'Everybody is Somebody', and think of themselves not only as individuals but to see themselves as part of a wider community, be it their class, school, local villages or the wider world. The Cam Academy Trust has a website that you may access here to learn more about them.
