At Fir Vale School we are distinctive.
Fir Vale School is a very inclusive, caring and ambitious school in a challenging context.

Our 'unconditional positive regard' for each pupil and their family is matched by our pledge to ensure each pupil leaves us well-educated with high levels of confidence, self-esteem and an eager readiness to embark on their next steps.

The school is
unceasingly optimistic, never compromises on high standards and
we do not accept negativity, cynicism, excuses for poor behaviour or offer excuses for any weak progress:

pupils' deprivation, disadvantage and poor role models are overcome
by leadership and practice that is bold, ethical and community focused.

We are ambitious for our pupils, their families, our community, ourselves and our school. We never confuse disadvantage with low ability and we believe educating and caring is a privilege. We are particularly effective at leadership, safeguarding and personal development, behaviour and welfare. We have good outcomes and standards of teaching, learning and assessment are rising rapidly. We celebrate and share our strengths;
we are not complacent and we see areas that need higher standards as opportunities to improve provision rather than negative judgements on our practice. We believe every professional and every school can be better and we are more likely to achieve this when we work collaboratively.
