We are expanding!

Come and join our highly successful team #TeamAldersley 

Due to the success of our Academy we have been asked to increase our student numbers and therefore we have a number of exciting vacancies. 

Why choose Aldersley High School?

Firstly, because our children are amazing! Last year they achieved a Progress 8 score of 0.51 which is well above average and puts us in the top 4 schools in the Black Country. We passionately believe in our Knowledge-rich curriculum and pre-planned curriculum lessons has reduced teacher planning time. Over many years we have proven that feedback is important to students but through adapting teaching and not arduous marking, hence we do not mark.

All of our staff have a coach that works with them throughout the year which negates formal lesson observations and onerous quality assurance and ensures that they have the CPD that they need for career progression.

Our conduct system is centrally managed and with the support of a team of highly qualified, non-teaching, pastoral staff, teachers and students at Aldersley enjoy focussed and calm learning environments. 

Come and visit our school at any time and look at our plans for the new Amethyst Sixth Form building which will be ready for September 2019.
