Aldridge School is a comprehensive school of around 1,600 students situated near the centre of Aldridge village. We believe that it is our responsibility to work to meet the needs of every

individual student, challenging them to achieve their best, supporting them to become responsible young adults and preparing them for their next steps into the world of work or further education.

Aldridge School is a good school (Ofsted 2017). It is a school which is proud of its traditions and successes which have been achieved through hard work and high expectations. In particular, we encourage our students to be Respectful, Responsible, Resilient and Ready to learn in order that they will be happy and successful at school and in the wider world beyond.

Aldridge School has a dedicated, talented and conscientious team of staff who work together to provide a high standard of teaching, excellent pastoral care and professional support services. Our broad curriculum is designed to meet national expectations, be relevant and interesting, support our students in achieving the best possible standards in external examinations and to equip them with the skills they need to be successful in adult life.

At Aldridge School we have a popular and thriving Sixth Form. We are very proud of our students' success with 90% securing places at University or on Higher Apprenticeships when they leave our Sixth Form. We offer a very broad range of both academic and vocational

courses at level 3, ensuring that Aldridge School Sixth Form is an option for a wide range of students.

We also enjoy strong links with surrounding primary schools, working with students in Years 5

and 6 including work in Science, Maths, English, Performing Arts and Enterprise. We are proud of our community and we work hard to promote this pride in all our partnerships, so that we can make sure that future students from these schools enjoy an easy, enjoyable transition to Aldridge School.

Aldridge School has a long and proud tradition of outstanding musical teaching, in both our general curriculum and our scholarships, which are awarded to up to twenty seven of our most gifted and aspiring students each year. Aldridge School has an ambitious annual music making programme and students have the opportunity to join one of our many instrument ensembles. We support our music students with exemplary teaching staff, who are supplemented by a group of passionate, high level instrumental tutors.

Music scholars take part in extra studies, which sets them on the path to the highest level of music and academic qualification. Their lessons include performance, Grade 5 theory and exploring different musical styles to develop their composition skills. They could reach ashigh as Grade 8 on two or more instruments and may even elect to take a performing diploma. A long line of past students have continued their studies at Oxford, Cambridge, major universities and the Royal Music Colleges.

Students at Aldridge School are friendly, polite and respectful. Strong relationships between staff and students contribute significantly to ensuring that students are happy and feel safe.
