At Valentines High School our main focus is for our students to achieve excellence in all that they do. Valentines is a multi-cultural, mixed comprehensive school, with around 1350 students.
As a high-performing Teaching School, we strive to offer the very best facilities for our students. These include a sixth form block, state-of-the-art physical education facilities including an Astro-turf pitch and tennis courts, a gym and sports hall, a drama studio, a music room, and a set of new science labs in our main building.

We aim to work in partnership with students, parents, staff, and the community to provide opportunities for all. Improving our provision and that for students at other schools is an important component of our ethos for Teaching School and Leading Edge.
Our school motto is ‘In harmony, achieving excellence’ and everything we do is planned to enable us to achieve this vision. Our behavior code focuses on respect for oneself and others. We emphasize the importance of Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural education in an environment where all faiths and cultures are respected. Our most recent Ofsted inspection placed us in the very highest category – ‘Outstanding’ in every section of the report. Outstandingly good attitudes to learning and behavior, outstanding quality of teaching, and outstanding results were all noted, as was the outstanding harmony achieved in our diverse school community. Valentines has improved even further since the inspection. We value our good relationships with parents, well-wishers, the local community, and our national and international educational partners.
We are a large and very successful sixth form with an excellent reputation in the local community and a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Our students are bright and enthusiastic young people who have chosen to continue their education at Valentine's or have been welcomed into the sixth form from other schools. At Valentine's, we have a wide range of courses on offer, all with excellent teaching and high standards of achievement. Progress is carefully monitored so that students can achieve their full potential, with over 90% of our Year 13’s regularly going on to university. We offer a high level of support, with students, teachers, and parents working together to ensure success.
