Parents and carers can generally send children to school with mild illnesses like a minor cough, runny nose, or sore throat. The NHS provides guidance to help determine if a child is well enough for school.

Year 13 Results 2023

The outcomes for our top vocational qualifications have seen an increase in comparison to previous years, which is a testament to the dedication and hard work of both our students and staff. This achievement reflects the commitment of our school community to providing our students with the best opportunities to excel in their chosen vocational fields.

Furthermore, A-Level results are in line with the school’s pass rate of 2022 which is an outstanding accomplishment, considering the challenging circumstances and national context around the awarding of examination results this year. 

It is important to acknowledge the outstanding individual performances of several students who have truly excelled in their exams; most notably were Viktoria M (D*,D*, A, B, B), Ethan K (D*, D*, D*, D), Leo A (D*, D*, D, D), Evie F (D*, A*, B). These results are just a sample of some of the exceptional outcomes for many of our students. Their dedication and perseverance have been rewarded with exceptional grades, and they serve as an inspiration to their peers. We are immensely proud of their accomplishments and wish them all the best as they embark on the next chapter of their educational journey.

Our students have demonstrated resilience, determination, and a thirst for knowledge, which has undoubtedly contributed to their remarkable achievements. Students will be leaving Valley Park School to study at many of the top universities in the country, including University of Loughborough, BIMM Institute, University of Reading, Royal Holloway and University of Surrey. Similarly, following some excellent results, we have students who have been accepted onto prestigious apprenticeships, for example, Aerospace Engineering, Accountancy and Business Administration. 

The Headteacher of Valley Park School, David Jones stated: “In what has again been another challenging year for all of our young people, I am exceptionally proud of our students. They have continued to maintain positive attitudes and shown great resilience. We are incredibly proud of all that they have achieved both academically and socially as they have progressed into outstanding young people. I would also like to thank our committed teaching staff, who have gone above and beyond in providing excellent teaching, support and inspiration for our students. We wish all of our students well and are confident that they are on course to succeed at degree level, in their apprenticeships or employment.”
