⚽ 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!

We were absolutely delighted to hear that The Vale Academy was one of the winning schools in the recent 'What School Means to You' drawing competition with CBC!
Our pupils produced some fantastic artwork, sharing their own creativity and perspectives on what school means to them. We’re especially proud that selected artwork from the competition has now been featured in new leaflets celebrating the creativity of our pupils.
A huge well done to everyone who took part, and a special congratulations to our talented Vale artist Anastasia!

🌧️☀️ Our final morning at Condover! ☀️🌧️
The rain may have come down overnight and this morning it is drizzling, but our smiles are still wide and the sun is almost shining through!
Another breakfast has been enjoyed and, believe it or not, parents… the children can even strip their own bed sheets ready for the cleaners! We’ll leave it up to you whether that new skill continues at home!
There’s still plenty of adventure to squeeze in before we leave, with abseiling, buggy building, aerial trek and trapeze on the programme this morning!
Then it’s time to head home, full of stories and ready to tell you all about the amazing time they’ve had at Condover!
What a fantastic trip it has been!
