Thank you so much for expressing an interest in the position of Headteacher at Aldersbrook Primary School. After nine years at Aldersbrook our current Headteacher will be leaving the school at the end of Spring term in April 2025.

In 2016 we achieved recognition from Ofsted that the provision was outstanding and we have worked tirelessly to build on this achievement. We have just completed our latest Ofsted inspection in December and will be sharing the judgement at the end of January 2025.

We are now seeking to appoint an exceptional individual to lead the school forward. Our school is a place where we share our cultures, languages and faiths in harmony with each other. The school community is diverse, and we celebrate this.

This is a friendly and loyal place to work. Our core purpose is to develop lifelong learners and transform lives. We work hard to provide an environment which is secure, stimulating and happy, and where everyone is appreciated and enabled to become the best they can be. The curriculum is creative, rich and innovative. Our values-based education philosophy underpins our work and we believe that this empowers individuals to be effective learners and good citizens.

We are proud of our exemplary senior leadership and teaching staff who work hard to help every child achieve their potential. The Board of Governors is supportive, well informed and strategically focused. Governors have a shared vision for the school and manage resources well.

You will be in the fortunate position of having a strong foundation to build on, leading and inspiring colleagues to take our school forward. Your experience of working with diverse communities and commitment to parental engagement, forming partnerships with other schools and the community will be an asset.

If you have a passion to inspire pupils, staff, and the school community and can demonstrate excellent leadership and teaching skills, we strongly encourage you to visit us if you can, in order to meet some of the children and staff; you will be most warmly welcomed. We look forward to hearing from you and receiving your application.

Yours faithfully,

Catheryne Hill

Chair of Governors
