Staff Testimony

Aldersley has been instrumental in my development as a teacher. I began my ITT here through Teach First and the provision put in place for my continued professional development has been of the highest standard. The department is incredibly supportive and has aided my confidence whilst my mentors have helped me cultivate my teaching skills.  Aldersley has also enabled me to mature my leadership skills during my NQT year with a TLR. I have been given whole school responsibility for raising the reading age across the school which has been a brilliant challenge to engage with. It has been lovely to be recognised for the effort I put in! If you want to be supported, challenged and appreciated, Aldersley will be perfect for you.
