This is a school that has genuinely transformed and is now enjoying one of the most exciting chapters in the school's history. It is a school built upon a solid set of values and a clear vision. We want our students to enjoy academic success but also to leave us with the strength of character to go out and make the world a better place.
Our ambition is to create a school which strives for excellence in all that it does. A school that delivers outstanding outcomes in a safe and secure environment, a love of learning, nurtures fine young people and empowers all students to achieve heights they did not imagine possible.
It's been a fantastic evening of music at the Winter Concert this evening Cycle Safety Project Severn Vale School students have benefitted from some very generous donations to make sure our students have everything they need to be safe whilst cycling to school. Full story: A fantastic evening at the Winter Showcase. A range of amazing performances in a range of genres.
Congratulations to all who took part and a big thank you to the Music department for organising
