Since 1994
Three decades of helping young people grow in knowledge, independence and character.
Where the journey began
The Vale College was founded by Solemilia Educational Trust and inaugurated as a co-educational secondary school on Monday, 7 November 1994.
From the beginning, the school set out to combine an excellent modern education with sound discipline, independence of mind and service to the community.
Character and Learning
Our watchword captures the balance at the heart of a Vale education. Academic performance matters, and so do integrity, teamwork, imagination, compassion and the courage to lead.
Each graduating class carries that tradition into higher education, professional life and communities around the world.
Looking forward
The school continues to grow without losing the personal scale that allows every learner to be known. A broad curriculum, practical technology, co-curricular experiences and a supportive day and boarding community prepare students for a changing world.
