From the School
The Vale Academy is located in North Lincolnshire's tiny market town of Brigg.
We run a prosperous and productive school.
We relocated to a new facility in January 2017 that offers cutting-edge amenities and an excellent learning environment for our students and staff.
Although majority of our students come from Brigg and the nearby towns and villages because of how well-liked the academy is, many families from beyond the catchment area also choose The Vale as their secondary school of choice.
The ability to join the Delta Academies Trust is only one of the benefits that came with the academy status transition in 2011.
At The Vale Academy, we strive for greatness for each of our students in everything they do.
We also anticipate that when they graduate from the school, our students will be kind, courteous, and responsible individuals who will contribute positively to society.
To this purpose, we provide a robust and varied extracurricular programme to support a comprehensive education both inside and outside of the classroom.
"The Vale Way," which serves as the foundation for all we do in the academy, captures our beliefs and ethos.
You can learn more about the many opportunities available to our students by reading our prospectus and the termly magazine "Vale Views," which we hope you will take the time to do.
The Vale is experiencing a very exciting time right now.
