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 creative writing or learning another language. We have a wide range of activities on offer to suit the varied interests of our students.
