Impington Village College is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in Impington in the English county of Cambridgeshire. The buildings of 1938–1939 by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry are Grade I listed.[2]
The school opened in 1939, two weeks after the outbreak of World War II. It was the fourth village college to be opened in Cambridgeshire. As a village college, it was originally intended to encompass all aspects of learning in the village, and included prominent space for adult education and the First Histon Scouts, who are now based in a hut on the grounds of the college.
In 1998 the school was awarded the Sportsmark by Sport England and was also granted international school status by the British Council's central bureau for education visits and exchanges, the first of eleven schools to be designated that way. In September 1999 it built on this with a successful application to the Department of Education to become a specialist Language College.[3] The school converted to academy status in January 2013.
