Collaboration is at the heart of the Academy for both students and staff and you will find Don Valley Academy to be positive and reflective towards their own professionalism, with wellbeing as a pivotal aspect of our Academy ethos.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection was in July 2024. There has been no change to the Academy’s overall judgement of ‘Good’ as a result of this ungraded (Section
8) inspection. However, the evidence gathered suggests that the inspection grade might be ‘Outstanding’ if a graded (Section
5) inspection were carried out.
