The Valley Road Dance Company took part in one of the heats of The Great Big Dance Off. Our fantastic dance leader Katie Campbell has worked week in, week out with the dancers and it clearly paid of as they won! 🏆 The company will now be taking part in the finals in June.

This lovely lot made a big splash today at the partnership swimming gala. Some strong individual and team performances ensured we brought home all 4 trophies! Great job swimmers and thanks Mrs Allen for taking them - the noise and heat of a gala is quite unique! #valleyrdsport

Year Six flexed their problem solving muscles at the Junior Citizens Trust, Rawley Road Fire Station, taking part in various scenarios to develop crucial life skills ready for their next steps as teenagers - including making a (dummy) call to the emergency services #lifelessons

Year Two had a wonderful time at the The Story Museum Hoping to inspire our young writers, the children took part in workshops, story telling sessions, visited the whispering woods and had time to play and explore…what a wonderful trip!
