  Booklet: Fifty Years at Comberton Village College
2010 sees the 50th Anniversary of the opening of Comberton Village College: "...At 8.40 on the morning of Tuesday 5 January 1960, a sunny and relatively mild day, buses bringing children from the surrounding villages drew up outside Comberton Village College and the youngsters ran into their new school. There were 242 pupils: 145 boys and 97 girls. Many wore the school uniform selected by the Warden, Roger Adcock, and his Deputy, Nora Beaumont: royal blue blazer, mid-grey skirt, white blouse and grey cardigan for the girls, black blazer, grey trousers, white or grey shirt and grey pullover for the boys. Both boys and girls wore the school tie of grey, gold and royal blue stripes on a maroon background. A grey beret was optional for girls, a black cap for boys..."

  Year 11 - Fashion Show and Prom Fair
Dear Parents/Guardians -
On Wednesday 3 March we are organising our last fundraising event which is a Fashion Show and Prom Fair, in readiness for the the Year 11 Ball. Items will be available to purchase and discounts will be available for suit hire, limo hire, hairdressers and beauty salons. All money raised from this event will subsidise our Year 11 Activities Leavers’ Day, Year Book and Ball. Tickets are £5.00 each and are available from the Finance Office at school. A copy of the poster is being sent via ParentMail for further information. If you are able to print out and display a poster in an appropriate place, please do so.
We are having a raffle and we already have some raffle prizes from the exhibitors but I am wondering whether any of you would be able to donate a raffle prize or have contacts from whom you are able to get prizes. Please contact me if you are able to help.
Once again, please support us in this last fundraiser.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Anne Jones [ ]
(Head of Year 11)

  Year 11 - List of School Trips
List of School Trips
At Comberton Village College we offer a wide range of off-site sporting, social and curriculum based activities and trips to pupils each year.
Each Year Group Team aim to organise one year group social event per term. This could be an external trip such as ice skating, swimming, bowling, theme park or an on-site activity such as a disco or barbecue. Activities Week offers activities both on and off-site ranging from sports to full international trips.
List of School Trips (.pdf)
There are many more 'one-off' local and UK wide trips that take place throughout the year – parents are advised of these as and when they occur.
