Soham Village College
From Free net encyclopedia
Soham Village College is a secondary school with "Foundation Technology College" status in Soham, Cambridgeshire, England. It has around 1400 pupils, aged from 11 to 16. It has a wide catchment area, including Ely. The college is split over two adjacent sites, Beechurst (formerly a Newmarket jockeys house) and Lodeside (more recently built).
The college was the centre of media attention after the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in August 2002. The school caretaker Ian Huntley, who had been suspected of a series of rapes and burglary while living in Grimsby, was later convicted of murdering the two girls.
