Bottisham Village College

Bottisham Village College is an outstanding school.  In June 2012 the College was judged to be outstanding in all categories: Achievement, Quality of Teaching, Behaviour & Safety and Leadership and Management.  An ambitious and aspirational College, committed to continual improvement, continuing to build on this success.

The College is committed to a role as a fully comprehensive College, determined to meet the needs of all members of the College community so that they can leave having:

• achieved their full potential, both academically and socially;
• developed a passion for life-long learning;
• developed the skills and attributes that will enable them to live successful and fulfilled lives, making a valuable contribution to our wider society, as global citizens.

In April 2013, the College became a designated teaching school, being one of the two lead schools in the Anglian Gateway Teaching School Alliance which is a growing network of primary and secondary schools in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.  The schools work together to shape the future of teacher training and professional development and to improve the life chances of all learners.

The College has very high expectations of all students with regard to behaviour and attitude to learning.  The code of conduct ‘Ready, Respectful, Safe’ is based on mutual respect and is underpinned by a series of core rights and responsibilities.  In addition to the core curriculum there is a wealth of extra-curricular activities on offer to students at Bottisham.
