Arthur Mellows Village College
Arthur Mellows Village College is a secondary school in Glinton in the local authority of Peterborough. The school is an academy with a specialism in technology. Olympic gymnast Louis Smith and Luke Steele are amongst the famous alumni. The school is named after a former mayor of Peterborough. It was originally built to serve the villages from Wittering to Eye which form an approximate straight line, the village of Glinton being in the middle. More recently the school developed a broader catchment including pupils from the large Peterborough suburb of Werrington. In the 1970s and 1980s the school was ahead of its time in terms of community links that are an obligation of all schools today. Arthur Mellows offered evening classes and a meeting area for several community groups/clubs and also once had a public library on site. As such the school used to refer to the headteacher using the title "Warden". More recently this was changed for the more recognisable term "Head of College". Originally opened to serve the rural community, green is a prominent colour on the uniform.[1]
