The Vale Academy Trust comprises nine church and community schools based in the South Oxfordshire towns of Wantage and Abingdon; two secondary schools and seven primary schools, none of which are more than 10 miles apart.

St. John's CE Primary Academy on the Wellington Gate housing development in Grove is now open to Nursery and Reception age children. This will be followed by St John's CE Secondary Academy opening in 2025 close by, thereby offering the first 'all through' school experience in the locality.
