Wreake Valley Academy

Students are actively encouraged to participate in the volunteering programme. Volunteering activities include being subject mentors for younger students, supporting younger students with their reading, supporting the local Academies at open evenings and promotional events, helping with sports fixtures and running teams, supporting drama productions or volunteering to help in the library and with local primary school transition events.

Leadership Opportunities: We encourage all students to take on roles of responsibility and leadership including standing for the School Council, public speaking and presenting assemblies. We support the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Sports Leadership Award and for some students the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

We offer an extensive range of activities for students to take part in such as Access to the Gym, Bands and Ensembles, Couch to 5K, Choir, School Production, Badminton, Book Club, Business, Debate Society, Digital Leaders/Esports, Enterprise, Musical Theatre Festival Team, Netball, Spanish Club, Staff vs Sixth Form Sports, Volleyball. There are also a wide range of educational visits through Year 12 and Year 13.

Throughout the two years we have a number of inspirational speakers, including representatives from local universities and businesses, who will help students think about their next steps.
