“Outwood Academy Valley is an excellent school with respectable students and staff. They are very helpful in many different fields and are excellent at what they do. The teachers are professionals and couldn't do a better job. There are always negative comments about this academy but most of the time those comments are made by parents who most likely have a child that misbehaves and is constantly getting in trouble and receiving detentions. Also I noticed that people have commented that you would be safer in prisons but as a matter of fact this school is extremely safe. They have a school Police Officer that upholds the law to the good standards that any Officer would and he works their every school day. He is friendly and approachable just like the teachers. As well as this the school has a brilliant Senior Leadership Team (SLT), and a Learning Manager for each year. The learning Managers are always there if needed and are there to support the students throughout their 5 years at this school. The rules may be strict but they are reasonable and not hard to follow. Another comment that I saw was about a student fainting on a hot day in the hallways. Firstly, the school has a First Aid room in the building with a highly trained First Aider on hand if this is to happen, and secondly, the school does have a strict but fair set of rules on school uniform which is to deter students from discrimination. The students are allowed to take their blazers off in the classrooms and if authorised by the Principal, in the hallways and outside on extremely hot days. Overall, this is a brilliant academy which does literally put 'Students First' and respects all students and staff equally.”
