PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME
Welcome to The Aylesbury Vale Academy.
At Aylesbury Vale Academy, we strive to go beyond the expected, to make the lives of all AVA children better.
We are proud to be a non-selective, fully inclusive school, where we firmly believe that every child and young person - regardless of background, ability, or circumstance - can thrive and succeed. This belief underpins our commitment to placing respect, aspiration, and resilience at the heart of everything we do.
Our aim is to ensure that all students achieve, belong, and flourish through inclusive provision, strong systems, and effective support, so they feel safe, experience success, and are fully prepared for the next stage of their lives.
As a large all-through school, we offer an ambitious and diverse range of opportunities, both in and beyond the classroom. We place great importance on academic excellence through high expectations, while equally valuing the rich experiences available to our learners. It is this balance that supports the development of well-rounded individuals who are ready to make a positive contribution to society.
Our 5 Goals:
To make the lives of all AVA children better we will continue to:
- Ensure our teaching and all our work with young people is high quality and grounded in high expectations so that learners achieve and read exceptionally well.
- Deliver a high-quality, ambitious and well sequenced curriculum for all pupils which places reading at its core and allows children to thrive.
- Close gaps in attainment, behaviour, engagement, and opportunity so all learners are equally prepared to thrive in education and life.
- Empower learners to have resilient, respectful, and aspirational attitudes so they are able to thrive.
- Foster/embed a sense of belonging in our students so that attendance is consistently above the national average.
