New Principal Appointed at Melbourn Village College
23rd October 2024
Melbourn Village College is set to welcome Rachel Spencer as its new Principal in January 2025
The CAM Academy Trust has announced that Rachel Spencer, currently deputy headteacher at Mark Rutherford School in Bedford, will take up the position of principal at Melbourn Village College in the new year. With extensive experience in school improvement and raising standards, Rachel Spencer will bring a fresh approach to the leadership team.
The CAM Academy Trust believes that Rachel’s leadership will be instrumental in continuing the school’s improvement journey, as well as fostering a positive and inspiring learning environment for students.
Principal designate, Rachel Spencer said:
“I am thrilled to be joining the CAM Academy Trust at this extremely exciting time. It’s a privilege to join Melbourn Village College as principal and to work in partnership with staff, pupils, and parents as we go on a journey to excellence together.”
CEO of CAM Academy Trust, Claire Heald said:
“We are delighted to be welcoming Rachel to the Trust. Melbourn has been on a very positive improvement journey over the last year and Rachel will be able to build on that, leading the school forward so it becomes the exceptional school its community deserves.”
Until Rachel Spencer takes up her role in January, Ms. Niki Smith will continue to act as interim principal. Niki has played a key role in guiding the school through recent improvements, and will continue, in a senior leadership role as head of school from January on, ensuring continuity and stability.
Melbourn Village College and The CAM Academy Trust are confident that this exciting appointment will enable the school to provide the best educational opportunities for all its pupils.
