The CAM Academy Trust

Since 1st September 2013, Melbourn Village College has been a member of The CAM Academy Trust. Set up in 2011 to oversee the conversion of Comberton Village College to academy status.

The CAM Academy Trust currently comprises four Secondary schools (three of which have Sixth Forms) and eight Primary phase schools. Bourn Primary Academy joined in 2021 as our first associate member. Please click on the individual schools' website addresses to find out more.

The core values of The CAM Academy Trust

The CAM Academy Trust oversees six core values that are at the heart of all Academies overseen by the Trust. These core values will be at the heart of Melbourn Village College, helping to set its ethos and guide its work and educational provision:

1. The excellence principle.
   Education must be of the very highest standard.
2. The comprehensive principle.
   Education must be for all types and abilities of students.
3. The broad education principle. 
   Education must incorporate a broad range of subjects and personal development.
4. The community principle.
   Every Academy must be at the heart of its local community and serve it well.
5. The partnership principle.
   Each Academy must seek to work positively in partnership with others for mutual benefit.
6. The international principle.
   The curriculum inside and outside the classroom must have a clear international dimension.

Everybody is somebody
