Cottenham Village College is an academy school located in Cottenham, Cambridgeshire, England. The school offers secondary education to pupils from the surrounding area.[1] In addition, as part of Cambridgeshire's village college structure, Cottenham offers Adult education courses and leisure facilities for the local community.[2] The school has a capacity of 900 pupils.[1][2]

Cottenham Village College and The Centre School were run by the Cottenham Academy Trust. However, the Trust was then taken over by the Astrea Academy Trust based in Sheffield.[3]
