Cambourne Village College and Sixth Form

What Cambourne Village College and Sixth Form does

Cambourne Village College and Sixth Form is a state-funded secondary Academy located on Sheepfold Lane in Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom, operating under the governance of The CAM Academy Trust. The institution delivers secondary education to students aged 11-16 across Years 7-11, preparing them for GCSEs, and offers post-16 provision through Cambourne Sixth Form (CAMSF) with A-Level and vocational courses. The pupil body exceeds 1,000, drawn primarily from four feeder primary schools (Monkfield Park, The Vine Inter Church, Jeavons Wood, and Cambourne & Hardwick), with admissions coordinated by Cambridgeshire County Council under statutory catchment rules.

The college's core technology stack is centered on a 1:1 iPads for Learning Programme that equips all Year 7-11 pupils with managed Apple iPads running on a Mobile Device Management (MDM) system, integrated with Apple Classroom for in-lesson device orchestration, Satchel One for homework distribution, and Microsoft Office 365 (including OneDrive and OneNote) for productivity and collaboration. The scheme is delivered through a partnership with Albion, an Apple Solution Expert for Education, and is funded via voluntary parental donations of approximately £13.01 per month over 60 months, with devices, insurance, software, and in-school technical support bundled in. The college makes no profit from these contributions.

Revenue mechanics are dominated by statutory per-pupil UK government funding under the national funding formula, supplemented by a small pass-through auxiliary stream from the voluntary iPad contributions and income from community-facing activities such as Adult Education, evening classes, bookable facilities, and the CamVC Charitable Trust. Marketing and admissions are conducted through the school's website, social media channels (Facebook and Instagram @cambourne_vc), a weekly CamVCPost email newsletter, open evenings, and prospectus materials. The institution is not publicly traded and does not disclose financials publicly.
