Curriculum Unveiled for New CVC Sixth Form
An ambitious curriculum offering a range of pioneering academic qualifications will be on offer at our new sixth form.
Plans for Comberton Village College's new £7.5 million facility, which will open in 2011, have been finalised by its governors.
The college will offer the English Baccalaureate to its 350 students, which combines traditional A-level-style learning with practical elements, such as the Duke of Edinburgh programme and courses in critical thinking, to offer students a more rounded education.
The college is also planning to offer the new Cambridge Pre-U, drawn up by the University of Cambridge International Examinations, which requires youngsters to study three subjects as well as completing a research report and a "global perspectives portfolio".
A range of the new post-16 diplomas in vocational subjects will also be on offer at the college, which last year was listed as one of the top schools in the country for the fourth time in the Annual Report of Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills.
Phillip Evans, deputy principal, said: "Following extensive research, a curriculum for the new sixth form has been approved by governors which matches the needs and aspirations of Comberton pupils."
Planning for the new sixth form is already under way, and Year 9 pupils will have their say in drawing up the architectural scheme.
Mr Evans said: "This ambitious and generously funded project will mean teaching spaces built to the highest specifications, with specialist facilities and library/study areas equipped with the very latest in ICT provision.
"Social spaces will include a café, refectory and student common room."
The college has also been given the green light to manage the third primary school to open in nearby Cambourne, and has already expressed an interest in running any secondary school that could be built in the new settlement, which is sited inside its catchment area.
