About Altwood
Situated in leafy Maidenhead, Altwood Church of England School is a wonderful place to work.
Our Values: As a church school we welcome all, value all and respect all. We celebrate the fact that everyone has God-given gifts and talents and embrace the responsibility we have for enabling students to realise their potential so that they can go on to achieve highly.
The school provides extensive opportunity for spiritual development and personal support. Our rich and diverse community is made up of young people and adults who are of the Christian faith, other world faiths or no particular faith; all have a significant part to play in our community and society as a whole.
Students told Ofsted “Behaviour is good because we are known to staff.”
We serve a vibrant community where every student is treated and valued as an individual. We set high standards and expectations, and we encourage and support our students to achieve their very best. The school is situated in pleasant grounds with many of the curriculum and other spaces having undergone recent refurbishment. Altwood Church of England School converted to an Academy in 2012.
Leadership is a very important part of life at Altwood. The House system provides the basis for extensive leadership opportunities and every student is encouraged to play an active part in one way or another.
Altwood Parliament ensures that students have the opportunity to fully engage in decision making at our school and our PSHE curriculum engages all of our students, to develop their leadership, organisation, resilience, initiative and communication skills. These key life skills support our academic curriculum so that our students can play a positive role in the school and wider community.
