Prospective students and their parents flocked to Melbourn Village College’s Open Evening on Monday. Visitors had the chance to get involved with a range of activities as they toured the college looking at the different departments. They tried the steel pans in the music department, made badges in Modern Languages, tried an assault course in PE, celebrated Diwali in Religious Studies/ Ethics and took control of a robotic arm in Computing. There were also quizzes and challenges for primary pupils to try and young and older alike were amazed by the wonders of science with a ‘magic’ show. Principal Simon Holmes, new chair of Governors Sue Williamson, the Chief Executive of the Schools’ Network, SSAT, and Comberton Academy Trust Chief Executive Stephen Munday spoke to packed audiences at two talks during the evening.
