We are so proud to showcase the wonderful learning shared by our children and their families, alongside a beautiful collection of artwork, jewellery and so much more, as part of our Black History Month exhibition.
It’s a fantastic opportunity to celebrate Black history, culture, creativity and heritage, while recognising the valuable contributions of our children and families. Thank you to everyone who has helped make our exhibition so special! 🌟

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!

⚽ Another great week of football at TVA! ⚽
Our teams enjoyed some fantastic results last week, with plenty to celebrate!
🌟 Year 3 & 4 Boys and Girls
Both our boys' and girls' teams went undefeated throughout their festival games! A fantastic achievement and a real glimpse of some stars for the future.
🌟 Year 5 & 6 Girls – EFL Cup
Our girls competed in the EFL Cup and came away with a fantastic victory on penalties!
There were some brilliant saves from both goalkeepers, along with a resilient performance from the whole team. The girls now join our Year 5 & 6 Boys in qualifying through to the next round later in the year!
A huge well done to all of our pupils who represented TVA with such pride.

✨ Our new sensory room is here! ✨
We’re so excited to share this welcoming and calming environment with our children, to give individuals a space to regulate, reset, explore and feel supported when they need it.
A huge thank you to Mrs Howarth for all the hard work and thought that went into making this happen.
We can’t wait to see this space in use!
