Vision and Values

At Forge Valley School, our vision is to be a safe, inclusive, and ambitious learning community where every pupil is empowered to thrive. We believe that all young people should be supported to become independent thinkers who are resilient, confident, and prepared for life in an ever‑changing world. We strive to provide stimulating experiences that nurture childhood while preparing pupils for adulthood, enabling them to achieve their full potential academically, personally, and socially.

Ambition, Endeavour and Success

We encourage all pupils to aim high, work hard, and approach challenges with determination. Through ambition and endeavour, pupils develop the mindset needed for success in school and beyond. Success at Forge Valley is measured not only in academic achievement but in the development of confident, innovative, morally grounded young people. We aim to help every pupil grow into a well‑rounded individual ready to contribute positively to society.

Forge Valley School – Our Pillars of Success

At Forge Valley School, we believe every pupil has the potential to thrive, achieve, and make a positive contribution to their community. Our Pillars of Success form the foundation of our school culture — guiding how we learn, how we treat one another, and how we grow into future-ready young people.

These five pillars shape daily life at Forge Valley and support pupils in becoming confident, responsible, and compassionate individuals.

Together, These Pillars Lead to Success

The pillars of Respect, Resilience, Kindness, Leadership, and Ambition are more than just words — they are the foundations upon which our pupils build their futures. By living these values each day, pupils develop the character, skills, and confidence needed to flourish in school and beyond.
