Welcome to Alder Community High School.  We hope that the information on our website will give you an insight into the values that we feel are important and what life is like at our school.

Alder Community High School

On 14th November we were visited by Ofsted.  As a good school we only received a short inspection (1 day) although it was very intense! Inspectors recognised the improvements we had made since the last inspection in June 2014 and we only have a couple of key action points to get us to ‘Outstanding’. We don’t get a new report as such, but a letter outlining our strengths and areas for development. I would like to thank students, parents/carers, staff and the wider community for all the support received in making Alder a great place to learn and work. Please click on the link below to read the letter from Ofsted.

 

Thank you

Mr O’Regan

GCSE Exam Success
24/08/2017 - 21:48

I am absolutely delighted with our students' fantastic GCSE results. Overall, the percentage of students gaining a grade 4 or above in both English and maths is 73% and 50% for grade 5 and above These are excellent results; both figures are predicted to be way above the national average.

There has been so much uncertainty about the results with all the changes the Government have made but despite this the students have pulled through with some magnificent individual achievements. Some of our students have struggled through adversity and have performed above all expectations.
