What the school offers its staff

The school

Aston Tower is a popular two-form entry multi-cultural school that serves a community which really values and supports our work. We have friendly, responsive and enthusiastic children whose attitudes to learning were described as ‘excellent’ by Ofsted along with their outstanding behaviour. Our staff team is skilled, caring, and committed; trustees are keen to be involved and highly supportive. The school is very well-resourced. Our well-kept modern premises are set in spacious grounds which lend themselves to being further developed to promote our pupils’ learning. This term we recently opened a resource base for pupils with Special Educational Needs following approval from the Department for Education (DfE).

Potential candidates are invited to discuss this opportunity with the Headteacher.
