    Melbourn Village College An Academy of The Cam Academy Trust Information Pack for the Post of Teacher of Physics – KS3/4 (and other Sciences as required by the department) An Introduction We are a very successful 11-16 school with a strong community feel. Our size enables all students to flourish within a supportive environment, where each feels valued and empowered. Strong academic performance across a wide range of subjects has led to the college regularly being in the top 25% of schools nationally for progress. Students are encouraged to continue their learning outside the classroom and a very high proportion get involved in the wide range of extra-curricular activities available to them. Our most recent OFSTED Inspection in September 2017 confirmed that we are a ‘good’ school which “has continued to improve the quality of education in the school” since our previous ‘Good’ judgement in May 2013. We are committed to improving what we do and aim to be outstanding by the time of our next Inspection. Being a part of the Cam Academy Trust and sharing expertise between schools are two examples of how we intend to achieve this. I look forward to working with you in the future. Simon Holmes – Principal History Melbourn is a large village situated on the border of Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire, four miles from Royston and twelve miles from Cambridge. The College first opened in September 1959, the sixth of Henry Morris’s village colleges, from which the worldwide community school movement developed.
