Future-ready learning
Students learn to solve problems, build systems and express ideas through code, robotics and digital creativity.
From club to core learning
Robotics began at The Vale as a club. In response to the growing importance of automation and coding, it became a compulsory area of study from September 2020.
A dedicated robotics laboratory supports hands-on work and continues to develop as tools and technical standards evolve.
Coding and physical computing
Students have been introduced to Python, JavaScript, Java and Arduino programming. The aim is not simply to learn syntax, but to use technology to design, test and create.
