Sawston Village College

When pupils leave Bellbird School we look forward to welcoming them at Sawston Village College. Sawston Village College is a happy school, a very vibrant and positive place to learn and to work. Our pupils are friendly, lively and confident. We believe that all young people can thrive in a school community where they are known, liked, valued and feel safe. We understand that a strong partnership between home and school is essential if our pupils are to achieve their potential and work closely with parents to achieve the best for all. We work hard to ensure that the transition between Bellbird School and Sawston Village College is smooth, so that Year 7 pupils continue to make good progress and feel happy and comfortable in their new environment. Your son or daughter will find our school to be a place of great opportunity, with engaging and thought-provoking lessons complemented by an array of extra-curricular and enriching activities to take part in, whether they are interested in further academic pursuits, sport, music, drama or pupil leadership. Should you wish to find out more about Sawston Village College, please feel free to contact me, or James Woodcock, Assistant Headteacher with responsibility for primary liaison.
