WELCOME TO ALDER COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Dear Parents and Carers, Alder Community High School is a thriving and vibrant environment, a place of high standards and high expectations for all our students. Through our relentless pursuit of excellence, we achieve high academic success, whilst building resilience and fostering a love of learning.
We are a community, and we want all students to thrive in a happy, safe, supportive, yet challenging learning environment. Central to our positive ethos are core values of tolerance, respect for others and a clear understanding of rights and responsibilities in equal measure, along with hard work and high expectations. Students are at the centre of everything we do and increasing their life chances is our primary goal. We want our students to leave Alder as wellrounded human beings, ready for college or work and able to take their place in our modern society. Alder students make a positive contribution to the wider community, whilst improving their own lives and the lives of others. We are Alder! Students leave Alder to go on to full time education and/or training, including A levels and apprenticeships. A significant number of our students move on to higher education; successful Alder alumni have graduated from the prestigious universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Thank you for considering Alder Community High School. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully working with you over the coming years. Richard O’Regan Headteacher
