About Our School
Nether Alderley is a welcoming, half-form entry school with a committed staff and pupils who embrace curiosity and challenge in all we do. The school was judged by Ofsted to be 'Good' in March 2022.
As a key part of our local community, we have strong relationships with families, local schools and local partners, ensuring that we are an active and visible presence beyond the classroom.
We are looking for a leader with vision, resilience and an optimistic outlook. You will be working with high calibre colleagues in the school, and across the Trust team, to support the school to build on its current successes, always living by the Trust Values of ‘Respect, Integrity and Optimism’. This is a hands on role and the successful candidate will have a teaching commitment of two to three days alongside the leadership responsibilities.
In 2016, we were a founder member of the Halliard Trust (formerly The Fallibroome Trust), a partnership that has enriched opportunities for both pupils and staff. Through this collaboration, we continue to strive for high academic standards within a nurturing and supportive environment.

We offer a wide-ranging programme of professional development for all employees to support those taking their first steps in education to those working as exceptional leaders.
The people you work with will support and motivate you in achieving your ambitions. Our exceptional teachers, support staff and leaders come from a wide range of backgrounds, but they all share a deeply held commitment to give our students an outstanding education in an inspiring and happy school environment. The Trust has grown organically to three secondary and eight primary schools based in Cheshire. The Trust operates from its head office in Macclesfield, Cheshire where the School Improvement and Business Support teams are based.

Everyone who works with us is crucial to the Trust’s success and professional learning plays a vital role in how we work. Successful teams are full of people who not only care but feel cared for and valued and subsequently take care in all they do. encourage and support every individual to develop themselves to achieve their full potential.
