Welcome to Outwood Academy Valley
The Outwood Post 16 Centre builds on the great work of the Outwood Academies in Worksop to provide first class A level education. Courses are delivered by many of the same outstanding teachers who teach at Outwood Academy Portland and Outwood Academy Valley and also include specialist post 16 teachers to provide students with a unique mix that generates the very best experience. Outwood’s amazingly successful teaching styles continue to expand so students at the Post 16 Centre receive even greater levels of challenge and development, while continuing to build on their collaboration skills, leadership styles and higher order communication techniques that we have embedded at GCSE.
