Sawston Village College is a Village College in the village of Sawston, Cambridgeshire, England. It was the first Village College, and opened in 1930 by Henry Morris, the then Chief Education Officer for Cambridgeshire, who had a vision for schools that would serve the whole community, and stem migration from the countryside to the towns.
As of 2005 it has 1,085 pupils in 5 year groups and approximately 50 teaching staff. The current principal is Mrs June Cannie, and the Classic FM Music Teacher of the Year for 2006, Janet McLeod, is Head of Music at the school.
