The vision and ethos of Venture
has never changed. Being an Ofsted
rated "Outstanding" Academy is the
baseline expected for the students
on a daily basis.
The booklets combined with the visits also allow us as
an Academy to see who has excelled in their placements
and this year we probably had the most yet in terms of
positive reports.
