School Description

Pupils flourish socially, academically and emotionally at Valley School. Caring staff warmly welcome them each morning. Pupils are very happy to attend the school. Leaders and staff have the highest of expectations for pupils, including children in the early years. As a result, pupils and children follow the school’s motto and make ‘small steps, giant strides’. They achieve highly. Pupils develop strong relationships with staff. This helps pupils to feel very safe and secure. Parents and carers wholeheartedly support the school. They trust staff implicitly to care for and educate their children. Many parents describe the support they receive as ‘amazing’. Staff supervise pupils closely. They act quickly and effectively if they spot any inappropriate behaviours, including bullying. Pupils enjoy an extensive range of activities beyond the academic curriculum. They visit local parks and shops, take part in sports competitions and engage in well-planned educational visits. Pupils benefit from sessions in the hydro pool and sensory garden. They smile with delight and express joy as they use play equipment such as slides and swings. These activities make a significant contribution to improving pupils’ physical abilities, communication skills and independence.
