Welcome

Our vision is that Forge Valley School is a safe, inclusive learning community where students and staff learn and thrive together. Forge Valley's ethos is based upon everyone striving to become their very best. 

As a school we believe that ambition and endeavour provide our students with the mind-set needed, not only to succeed academically, but in adult life in an ever-changing modern world. Our students are encouraged to become independent thinkers, develop foresight and believe that with hard work and resilience, they can achieve their dreams. We are an inclusive school which works hard to provide stimulating learning experiences for all our students, who are seen as individuals. We work tirelessly to provide a nurturing environment which protects childhood and prepares for adulthood. Everyone at Forge Valley is part of our community, which is founded on empathy, respect, tolerance and equality. 

Success at Forge Valley is not just measured in terms of academic performance. We aim to develop our students into reflective, confident, innovative, morally grounded, ambitious and resilient individuals ready to take their part in a dynamic and diverse 21st century

Attendance is at the heart of this success; being present each day ensures pupils can fully engage with their learning, build positive relationships, and develop the habits needed for future achievement. We work in partnership with families to promote excellent attendance, recognising its vital role in both academic progress and personal development.
