Welcome to The Vale Primary School and Nursery

On behalf of our staff and School Standards Board, I am delighted to welcome you to our school community. At The Vale, we want every child to feel happy, safe and valued, and to be inspired to strive for excellence in all that they do. We are passionate about nurturing a lifelong love of learning and helping each child grow in confidence, curiosity and independence. 

Our enriched curriculum, wider opportunities and Thrive approach all play an important part in supporting children to learn actively, develop personally and become well-rounded citizens. We are very proud of the positive learning behaviours our children demonstrate through our Vale Learner qualities. We encourage them to be caring, safe, respectful, ready, resilient and reflective, while also having the confidence to embrace challenge and try their best. 

Guided by our motto, ‘Inspiring All’, we believe that children thrive when staff, families, governors and pupils work together. We are proud of the warm and supportive relationships across our school and the strong sense of community that makes The Vale such a special place to learn and grow. 

I hope this website gives you a helpful flavour of our school, our values and our achievements. If you are considering The Vale for your child, please visit our Admissions page or contact us to arrange a visit. We would be very pleased to welcome you and show you our school in action. 

Paper copies of website information are available free of charge from the school office. For further information, please contact info@thevaleprimary.org.
