Looking forward to further improvements

There are big plans in the pipeline to further develop and enhance Melbourn Village College

With the new food tech and teaching rooms now complete along with enhanced catering facilities, which have been further improved with the addition of a ‘grab and go’ section, attention is turning to other areas of the college

The Cam Academy Trust, which oversees MVC, is applying for planning permission for new perimeter fencing, which will enable to creation of a further safe outdoor space for Year 11 students at the front of the building

The reception area and front of the school are going to be redesigned with separate areas for visitors and students waiting to be collected. Elsewhere there are plans to move the Cabin from the old library, which is now too small, to a purpose-built facility at the back of the school, near the sports centre. Discussions are still at an early stage but with increased capacity a key priority

The library will then be repurposed back to its original use.

Meanwhile, the MVC site team are busy refurbishing the staffroom, which was very out of date It will include new work stations, a small social seating area and a dining space

They have also drawn up specifications and tendered for the maths classrooms upstairs at the front of the school to be refurbished and are hoping this will be approved by the Trust so the work can take place in the summer holidays

Catering team score well

The Caterlink catering team at MVC were audited on Food Safety and Health & Safety earlier this month and were delighted to score 98% ,meaning they have now been issued with a certificate of Excellence

They are now busy planning Theme Days Watch this space
