About Vale Academy Trust
The Vale Academy Trust comprises nine church and community schools based in the South Oxfordshire towns of Wantage and Abingdon; two secondary schools and seven primary schools, none of which are more than 10 miles apart.
OUR VISION
- The Vale Academy Trust is a family of schools recognised for providing exceptional, stimulating, inclusive learning opportunities in a safe, happy environment where all can flourish;
- The Trust will inspire the highest standards of achievement and personal growth for the young people in our schools and for everyone that works for the Trust;
- Through working together and sharing excellent practice, Vale Academy Trust schools will support the learning needs of all within our local communities, well into the future.
OUR VALUES
Underpinning the Trust's Vision are our values which are central to our commitment to the well-being of all.
RESPECT / AMBITION / COLLABORATION / INTEGRITY / KINDNESS
We believe in developing our people to be able to model the highest quality of teaching and leadership, growing and inspiring our own leaders and supporting the aspirations of our staff. The Vale Academy Trust is committed to building brilliant futures together by fostering and nurturing a trusting and caring culture focused on the well-being of everyone associated with the Trust, so that we feel supported, heard, accepted and valued and empowered.
In 2013 the Vale Academy Trust led the way in modelling collaboration, being the first in the UK to see church schools and community schools coming together, whilst retaining their own distinctive character. All share a common vision and set of goals and targets, with skilled professionals working both within their own schools and across other Trust schools to bring about truly collaborative school improvement.
This has already resulted in many exciting joint projects and initiatives and the Vale Academy Trust Promise - to 'Involve, Engage, Enrich and Inspire'. This reinforces our ambition to offer each young person a breadth of experience through which they will find and forge their talents, whilst they learn in forward thinking, inspirational schools with skilled and motivated teachers determined to secure the best outcomes for each child.
The Department for Education has approved the Vale Academy Trust as a Sponsoring Academy Trust. Our newest school, St. John's CE Primary Academy on the Wellington Gate housing development in Grove, opened to Nursery and Reception age children last September. This will be followed by St John's CE Secondary Academy opening in 2025 close by, thereby offering the first 'all through' school experience in the locality.
