Melbourn Village College is a mixed, non-selective, non-denominational, 11-16 academy, situated near Royston in Cambridgeshire. The school, which converted to become an academy school in October 2011, has 474 students on the school roll. Since 1 September 2013, Melbourn Village College has been a member of The Cam Academy Trust.

Values and vision

Melbourn Village College subscribes fully to the Henry Morris principal of lifelong learning and schools being at the heart of the local community. It aims 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.

“Students make good progress based on their average starting points. More-able students achieve particularly well across a range of subjects. Most of the teaching is good, and a small proportion is outstanding. Students behave well in lessons and around the college. The Principal, two Assistant Principals and the committed governing body have a good understanding of the college’s strengths and areas for development.”
