  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 7 - 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 a week at Beaumanor for the whole year.

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.

  Year 7 - Feedback from Beaumanor 2009
Following concern expressed by two parents at a Year 8 Parents' Liaison Group meeting last month, staff put together a questionnaire to get some feedback on Beaumanor 2009. It was felt that it would be useful for teachers and parents preparing for Beaumanor 2010. 219 pupils filled in the questionnaire, so this isn't everyone who went to Beaumanor, but it is possible to get a flavour of their feelings towards the week. Overall, these feelings were incredibly positive as you can see from the results.
