Linton Village College is a comprehensive, high-achieving secondary school situated in the heart of its local community. Located in South Cambridgeshire, we are close to the borders of Essex and Suffolk and have around 830 students on roll (aged 11-16).
We are a member of Anglian Learning Trust , a group of like-minded local schools, which enables us to benefit from professional learning opportunities, partnership and collaboration. As a relatively small secondary school, we foster positive relationships and support students as individuals.
We pride ourselves on offering a nurturing and inspiring learning environment in which everyone can thrive and achieve. Our curriculum offer is ambitious and we place a significant value on enrichment experiences. This extends to providing community sports, leisure and learning facilities in line with our Village College heritage.
Linton Village College is a friendly and vibrant school. Please get in touch if you would like to arrange a visit or find out more about us.
