Swavesey Village College was founded in 1958, and has grown in its 63 years from a small village college to a nationally recognised highly performing 11-16 non-selective school with an outstanding academic record and educational experience for its students.
Our most recent Ofsted in February 2020 inspection concluded we are still an Outstanding Provider, confirming the findings in 2011 when they awarded the school outstanding in all 27 categories. The College's GCSE results have been in the top 20% nationally since 2008.
In 2011 the school converted to academy status, as the lead school of the newly-formed Cambridge Meridian Academies Trust (CMAT), a trust which has grown since to run several secondary schools across eastern England.
Swavesey is situated close to the A14, about 8 miles north-west of Cambridge – a rural location but not far from the bustle of an internationally renowned city. The school receives children from seven local village primary schools: Over, Swavesey, Bar Hill, Papworth Everard, Fen Drayton, Fenstanton and Elsworth. We have excellent transport links to Cambridge and St Ives, and especially useful is the Guided Busway for those staff who do not drive, with a stop right in the village.
Still true to the vision of Henry Morris, the visionary director of education at the Local Authority in the 1950s, the school also continues to offer educational activities to adults outside of school hours, and is used extensively for leisure activities by the local community.
