Cambourne Village College holds the British Council International Schools Award, which it gained in September 2024. According to Scott McDonald, Chief Executive of the British Council, “The school has earned this prestigious award through its inspirational international work and links with schools abroad. The International School Award is a chance for schools to be recognised for their important work in bringing the world into their classrooms. This is especially commendable when schools have been deeply affected by the global pandemic. The desire to build on their international work shines through and it is with utmost pride that we celebrate their achievements.”
Cambourne Village College strives to embed and advance The Cam Academy Trust’s core international principle:
‘All our schools have a clear international emphasis in their educational provision both within and beyond the formal curriculum. This is crucial as part of any meaningful education and crucial for the positive functioning of all societies.’
Our strong international ethos lies at the heart of our school community and plays a pivotal role in providing first-class opportunities, which support the development, growth and success of our students as citizens of the world.
Students at Cambourne Village College have access to a wide range of international opportunities thanks to longstanding partnerships with schools from Germany, Spain, Peru and Malawi, as well as partnerships with organisations including The British Council, Qatar Foundation International and The Turing Scheme.
