Welcome to Melbourn Village College 
May I start by welcoming you to Melbourn Village College. Over the last fifty years the College has earned the reputation as a caring and listening organisation that respects and values the worth of all its members.
We strive to provide an excellent learning environment where students feel safe, supported and are given the opportunities to develop the skills that will equip them for life-long learning in a changing society. Our students enjoy positive relationships with staff and we pride ourselves on the calm and purposeful working atmosphere around the College.
In recent years students have consistently achieved above the national average in examination results,with the majority continuing in full time education when they leave us. We are committed to improving teaching and learning further, through the sharing of good practice both within the College and with our partner schools.
We focus on celebrating all success and encourage students to be proud of their achievements and talents. We aim to offer them the ‘chance to shine'.
We have been a Specialist Performing Arts College since 2002 and have been successful in the retention of our Artsmark Gold status. Our extensive range of extra-curricular activities and our work with the youth and community programmes means that local people of all ages can benefit from what we offer and we hope that families see us as much more than just the local secondary school.
If you would like to visit the College, we would be delighted to welcome you see a working college day. Individual visits may be arranged by contacting the College directly.
I look forward to meeting you.
Elaine Stephenson
Warden

Parents' Focus Group Meeting

On Tuesday, 7th September at 3.45pm in the Library - discussion of GCSE results

Congratulations!


Record Breaking Results


The results at Melbourn Village College have improved 20% over the last two years with 89% of our Year 11 students achieving 5 or more A* - C in 2010. There has been a similar 20% increase in the numbers of students achieving 5or more A* - C including English and mathematics.


This is an incredible achievement and is a reflection on the mature way the students approached their revision and the examinations and the dedication of the staff. We are a small school and pride ourselves on knowing our students individually. In this way we are able to provide a curriculum that best suits the talents and strengths of all students to enable students of all abilities to succeed.


We are delighted that almost without exception students are now able to proceed to their first choice post-sixteen destination and we have our highest number of students ever going on to further education.
