Mission Statement

Delta Academies Trust Mission Statement

The Mission of Delta Academies Trust is ‘Changing Lives by improving educational outcomes for the North of England and creating a sustainable organisation that improves our society and the wider community’. It is essential for our success as an

academy that we always maintain the highest of standards, something which is only achievable through successful collaboration between our staff, parents and students. Our challenge is to provide a high standard of education that gives our students the tools necessary to compete in the global market.

Academy Vision

Valley Academy is committed to maximising social mobility and the life chances of all our students. We aim to remove the barriers to education generated by social and economic disadvantage through our inclusive approach, to facilitate the very best outcomes and opportunities for all.

Our school is small, ensuring each student is well known to each other and the wider school community. We want students to flourish, ensuring they are given opportunities to build their knowledge, understanding and skills.

To do this we:

  • Cultivate a positive attitude towards learning across the whole school community.
  • Have the highest expectations of every single student .
  • Provide a safe, stimulating and supportive environment.
  • Identify talent and fulfil the potential of our students.
  • Invest in teaching and the professional development of our staff.

At Valley Academy we believe every student is ‘unique and valued’. They have their own personal strengths, interests and objectives. Our dedicated staff lead and inspire, working closely with each student enabling them to thrive and fulfil their potential. We deliver rigorous academic challenges with educational and personal development activities to provide a rich, broad and balanced learning experience.

We expect students to maintain high standards of appearance and behaviour at all times, and for older students to lead by example. Our students will be proud of the communities in which they learn and live.
