About Comberton Village College

Comberton Village College is a secondary school in Cambridgeshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 1,962 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 55.7 — above the national average (national average: 46). Performance is little changed year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 13% of secondary schools in England.

59% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. 76% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. Comberton Village College is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, with 309 first choices for 281 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 3.93 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. After Year 11, 99% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 7.4%. There are about 15.6 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Comberton Village College does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
