This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside our experienced Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher and maintain our high standards, as recognised at our October 2024 inspection, which identified the school’s outstanding work. Aston Tower has also been awarded the Leading Parent Partnership Award, recognising our excellent work with parents.

The school

Aston Tower is a popular two-form entry, multi-cultural school that serves a community which 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 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 and visit the school.
