Ours is a small school with a main focus on traditional academic subjects. We embrace new technologies and techniques, but still believe that teaching is most effectively delivered in traditional classrooms to small teaching groups.

Pent Valley will:

—— have high expectations of our pupils and also our staff as life-long learners —— aspire for achievement beyond expectation utilising digital technologies —— celebrate shared values showing care, courtesy and consideration.

Digital technology and literacy will be used as a vehicle towards greater pupil and parental engagement creating a seamless link between home and school. Pent Valley’s curriculum has been designed to flexibly meet the needs of today’s pupils and help them thrive amidst the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow’s world.

Achievement in all subjects is monitored closely ensuring aspirational but realistic targets are set for each learner; these are shared and the journey towards these achievements are celebrated throughout the school community.

Conduct throughout the school shows care, courtesy and consideration. Pupils who fall short of expectations will be dealt with swiftly, effectively and fairly. Mutual respect will permeate the school and relationships between staff and pupils will be positive.

The best way to discover what life is like at Pent Valley is to visit us and speak with both staff and pupils.
