Dear Parents and Carers

Thank you again for your continued support for your children’s learning:  this week’s pupil attendance based on the numbers of pupils in Years 7-10 logging into ShowMyHomeWork  is currently 96.2% - an incredibly high figure under these circumstances.  

Here are today’s updates:

Year 11 Learning

After sending out the message to Year 11 students and their parents this morning, we received information from Hills Road and Cambridge Regional Colleges about their summer provision for Year 11 students.   This information has been added to our website on this link:

This morning’s School Post message has also been amended and the new version is attached below.

Extra Reading – free audio books and e-books

In case your child is running out of reading material, here is a message from Dominique Payne, our Librarian:

All pupils have access to a free  eBook/eAudio app called Sora, by Overdrive. It can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store.

Once downloaded, please click “Find Your School” and select “Secondary eBooks NOW – Cambourne Village College”

For pupils, your username and PIN are both your usual school username e.g. 214123
