Making a Difference in our community
The Vale Academy - 16 Oct 2026
How incredible is our Black History Month exhibition?
It showcases the wonderful contributions of our staff and the creativity, curiosity and learning of our children. From exploring printing and basket weaving to learning about the achievements and experiences of others, the children have embraced this opportunity to learn, reflect and celebrate.
We’re so proud to share their work and celebrate all the thought, effort and creativity that has gone into bringing this exhibition together.

Black History Month - Honouring Our Communities
Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome a special guest, Robert Bent, to our assembly! He is a television personality who inspired our children to dream big, believe in themselves and celebrate the differences that make each of us unique.
A huge thank you to Mrs Lowe for organising such a wonderful and inspiring experience for our children.
We can’t wait to showcase the children’s fantastic learning later this week. Watch this space!
