Transcript from Cambridge House Community College website:
“For over twenty years, Cambridge House Community College has offered an excellent education to Spanish and international students. Our aim is to create a stimulating, warm, caring “home” environment, and we aim to ensure that all our students develop their full potential regardless of their natural ability. The majority of our students start at Cambridge House at the age of three.
There are waiting lists for entry at all levels of Primary and Secondary, and students wishing to join our school after Early Years are assessed to ensure that the school is suitable for the student.
We aim to equip students leaving Cambridge House at the end of their studies with the necessary qualifications to have the best possible choices. The school follows the English educational system, giving our students the possibility of studying at universities in the UK, Spain or elsewhere. In Years 12 and 13 we offer a wide range of courses, including five languages, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (pure and applied), Biology, Technical Drawing, Social Sciences, History, Art, Geography, Literature, Drama, and Economics and Business Studies. More importantly we hope our students will go into the world as caring, responsible citizens.”

From the very start, even before the Malima Project was even conceived, Cambridge House Community College provided sabbatical time for one of its teachers, Judith Burnett, to go into Africa to work with VSO (Voluntary Services Overseas). It was while she served to provide education in the village of Mora that the Malima concept was born through working with Bene Tize who is from the village of Gouria.
Judith provided some funds, left Bene in charge of getting things started and returned to Cambridge House to continue her teaching career. Later, when the one-room class was finished, Cambridge House made the time available on several occasions to Judith to enable her to return to Cameroon to progress the programme.
Cambridge House Community College was the original sponsor of Malima. They had faith in Judith’s vision and her determination to make a success of bringing education to children who were not being served, even when many people were trying to discourage her. The faith of Cambridge House has never wavered and they continue to be fully supportive in a multiplicity of ways. This makes this school the original and most enduring encouragement for The Malima Project.
Throughout the time period under review, Cambridge House was going through its own growth stages, so to be able to look beyond their own needs at a small village in the remotest part of Cameroon was a striking and unselfish achievement. After eight successful operating years the time has come for proper recognition of the fact that in spite of the work having been done by Judith and friends, without the principal support by Cambridge House there simply would not be a Malima Project.
Cambridge House Community College has now agreed that in order to build a stronger relationship with Malima Primary School, the two schools are henceforth twinned, thereby providing Cambridge House with a more proprietary interest in Malima’s success.
