From the The Vale Academy
We appreciate your desire to join the learning community at The Vale Academy. The staff at our institution works so hard to make learning enjoyable and exciting, and I am extremely proud of them. We function as a very tight-knit team and make every effort to involve parents as much as possible in their children's education. As the Headteacher of The Vale Academy, I consider it an enormous honour. By the time students graduate from The Vale Academy at the end of Year 6, they are mature, self-sufficient young adults, and we are really proud of them. At The Vale Academy, we want every student to achieve their full potential by offering a wide and balanced education in a fun, engaging, and healthy atmosphere. To guarantee the best results for every child, our excellent teachers, learning support assistants, administrative staff, and site managers collaborate. When you come to the academy, you will personally experience the genuine warmth and friendliness of the employees. Our Governing Body is crucial to the growth and accomplishment of the academy. Children are members of four distinct communities: excellence, learning, achievement, and valour. The communities participate in a variety of athletic and non-sporting events to compete for House points. Children appreciate the competitive aspect of playing on a house team and feel a great sense of camaraderie.
