Welcome to The Vale Academy

🏆 Three Years of Platinum Success! 🏆 We are incredibly proud to announce that we have once again been awarded the Platinum School Games Award – making this our third consecutive year of achieving the highest national recognition for school sport and physical activity. This prestigious award reflects our commitment to providing outstanding sporting opportunities, promoting active and healthy lifestyles, and encouraging every child to participate, compete and thrive. It also celebrates the incredible sporting achievements, enthusiasm and dedication shown by our pupils throughout the year. This success would not have been possible without our fantastic pupils, the continued support of our parents and carers, and the commitment of our dedicated PE Team. Thank you to everyone who has played a part in this outstanding achievement. We are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to building on this success in the years ahead. Here's to continuing our Platinum journey!

Year 3 had a fantastic time at Gulliver’s Land as they celebrated the end of a brilliant year together. Although the weather was a little warm, it didn’t stop everyone from having an amazing day enjoying the rides, having fun with their friends and making lasting memories. It was the perfect way to round off a year full of hard work, laughter and success. Well done Year 3!

We have some more lovely photos to share from our trip to Woburn Safari Park with the Kingfisher Provision. 🦬🦣🦫🦭🪱
