Welcome toFir Vale Academy
Fir Vale is a school where every pupil is known, valued, and supported to be the best version of themselves. We are relentless in our ambition for them and determined to make sure that nothing holds them back.
We believe education is about more than just exam results (though they are very important) - it’s about developing confident, kind, and ambitious young people. Our values of Opportunity, Respect, Determination, Achievement, Togetherness and Kindness guide everything we do, from the classroom, the sports field, to the stage and beyond in our community.

Fir Vale Academy offers an engaging and ambitious curriculum designed so all of our students can make great progress in their academic attainment. We have planned our curriculum so that students know more and remember more in all of their subjects.
We recognise that we are preparing our students to live in a diverse and rapidly changing world where the skills of independence and self-regulation will be key to future success.
Alongside our academic curriculum, we believe in ensuring our pupils have a broad range of ‘life’ skills and cultural experiences. The personal development of our students is key.
Our Parents section brings together all the essential information you need to stay informed and involved in school life. Here you can access important letters and regular newsletters, keeping you up to date with key announcements, student achievements, and upcoming events.

Whether you’re planning ahead or looking for quick answers, this area is designed to make it easy for families to find the information they need, when they need it.
Here you’ll find exciting opportunities to join our school community. Our school is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all staff and students.
