About
At the Aylesbury Vale Academy we provide a wide variety of enrichment opportunities aimed to broaden student experiences outside of their timetabled subjects, develop life skills, build their cultural capital and embed a love of lifelong learning.
The range of activities on offer include the chance for students to be involved in sports clubs, creative activities such as performing and producing art work or pursuing an academic interest such as Latin or learning another language. We have a wide range of activities on offer to suit the varied interests of our students and propose to extend this further over the coming year.

Year 10 Extended Schools provision will begin for the current Year 10 from Monday 19 April and all Year 10 students are expected to attend school until 4pm Monday to Thursday to take part in a variety of extra-curricular activities and study sessions. Students received their new timetables prior to the Easter break and must come to school ready with correct equipment and kit to be able to fully participate from Day 1. We are pleased to have such a broad variety of activities on offer and look forward to this being able to start, now that restrictions allow.
