We serve a vibrant and ambitious community that is used to having a strong school at its heart, and we would love for you to be part of it.

Aldersley was the founding school of the Amethyst Trust, which has expanded significantly over the past few years to now encompass five schools in a growing and thriving Trust partnership. We benefit from fantastic relationships with our sister schools, meaning that there is great opportunity for networking, professional development and ultimately professional success at Aldersley and beyond in our Trust.We are a Trust that believes in a ‘talent-first’ approach, ensuring that we grow potential and see leadership opportunities as a logical step for those who make a real impact.

We believe that our students are best-served by having a staff body who are supported to have meaningful work-life balance and their family lives protected, so they can give everything to our students during the school day. We fiercely protect our directed time budget, limit communications outside of the working day, and do not ask our teachers to mark books regularly, focusing instead on assessment that really works.
