Welcome to Alder Community High School

Dear Parents and Carers
Alder Community High School is a thriving, vibrant school
with a proud record of academic success. We have high
standards and high expectations of all of our students.
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 well rounded human beings, ready
for college or work and able to take their place in society to contribute, to enjoy life and be
able to improve their own lives and the lives of others. The vast majority of our students
leave Alder to go onto full time education and/or training, including A levels and
apprenticeships. Many of our students go on to university.
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

High Standards and Expectations
Behaviour and Discipline

At Alder Community High School we expect and encourage the highest standard
of behaviour from students at all times. All students are expected to follow the
school code of conduct so that effective teaching and learning can take place.
Further information is available in our Behaviour Policy.

Rewarding Progress, Effort and Achievement

Progress, achievement and effort are rewarded with Alder points which are
exchanged for badges which students wear on their blazer. Each half term,
curriculum leaders nominate 2 students from every year group to receive a
subject badge. Also, throughout the year limited edition badges will become
available. Limited edition badges include resilience, team work, social conscience
and the British values.

Attendance and Punctuality

Good attendance and punctuality are vital if students are to get the most out of
school. We ask all parents to support school by encouraging good habits of
attendance and punctuality. Students who achieve 100% attendance in an
academic year will receive a blazer badge.

“The rewards and sanctions system has had a marked School Uniform
effect on ensuring good behaviour.”
At Alder Community High School we have a traditional uniform that includes a
(Ofsted) clip on tie and a blazer. All our students feel a real sense of pride in belonging to
our school and see the wearing of the uniform as a positive statement of their
commitment to it. For this reason, and to promote equality, the school insists
that full and correct uniform is worn. We are obviously grateful for the co-
operation and support of parents in ensuring that all of our students are correctly
dressed. Further information is available in the Uniform and Equipment Policy.

speak.
(Ofsted)
 We will all work hard to make lessons successful.

 We will try to do our best and encourage others to do the same.

 We will be here on time every day and in every lesson

 We will all move safely and sensibly around school.

 We will all be well prepared for school and lessons, including what
we wear and how we act.

 We will all acknowledge our mistakes and accept the
opportunities to make amends.

 We will do our best to demonstrate and prove that Alder
Community High School is a good school.

“Around the school, students treat each other with great
respect and move sensibly and safely at all times. They know
what is expected of them and behave accordingly. This leads
to a harmonious community.”

Care, Guidance and Support

Pastoral Support
At Alder the well-being of our students is at the heart of everything we do. Students
will only fulfil their potential if they feel safe and, above all, are happy. We have a
highly experienced, qualified and dedicated team of individuals who provide a range
of pastoral support and guidance to our students and their families if necessary.
Each class has a form tutor who meets with them most days and gets to know each
student well. The Form Tutor is in a key position to monitor your child’s progress and
should be your first point of contact if you have any worries or concerns.
Each year group has a Progress Leader who has an overall responsibility for all of the
students in their year group. In addition we have:
 a Learning Mentor;
 a Student Welfare and Family Liaison Officer;
 a Senior Leader for Safeguarding;
 a visiting School Nurse and Health Mentor;
 A visiting Counsellor.
Each year a small number of Year 11 students are appointed as Peer Mentors. Their
role is to support and guide younger students, particularly the vulnerable or those
lacking in confidence.

Home School Partnership
Students usually only fulfil their potential when there is a good relationship between
school and home and where parents and staff work together. To this end we keep
parents/carers fully informed about their child’s progress and provide opportunities
to meet staff.
Parents are always welcome to come into school although we would ask that an
appointment is made if they wish to see a particular teacher. A member of the Senior
Leadership Team is available each evening after school if parents wish to discuss
anything. Parents can influence school policies directly through the Parents’ Forum.

8

Bullying
Bullying is a topic of concern to parents and students in all schools. As a
responsible school we operate an anti-bullying policy that aims to protect
and educate. Students are encouraged to report, in confidence, any
instances of bullying towards themselves or others. Where bullying does
occur it is dealt with sensitively but firmly.

Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)
Alder is an inclusive school and is firmly committed to providing an
appropriate and accessible curriculum for all of its students. The focus of
our support for students is on delivering quality first provision in the
classroom through effective differentiation and the support of the Learning
Support team, if appropriate. Additional help is available in a variety of ways
from in-class support to small group work or, in some cases, an
individualised programme.
Specialist provision is provided for students with specific learning
difficulties, students with an Autistic Spectrum Condition and students with
a disability. The progress of all of these students is monitored and reviewed
in line with the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice. Our highly
qualified and dedicated SENDCo will be happy to further discuss our SEND
support and provision.

Transition
Moving to high school may be a worrying time for students and parents so it
is important that we do all we can to make this important transition as
smooth as possible. Our Transition and Year 7 Progress Leader works
closely with the primary schools throughout the year and spends half a day
per week working in 3 of our partner primaries.
We hold an annual induction evening, where form tutors will be introduced.
Students will then spend time with their Form Tutor and their new tutor
group on our induction days in the summer term, where we will provide an
opportunity for them to get to know each other and familiarise themselves
with school in a variety of lessons and activities.

The Learning Environment

At Alder we are fortunate to have a modern building with excellent facilities and resources. In addition to the general teaching classrooms we have:
Six science laboratories;
Four technology workshops;
A music suite including 3 practice rooms and a recording studio;
Two art rooms;
Five ICT rooms;
A library;
A drama workshop and dance studio;
A sports hall and fitness suite;
A brand new floodlit artificial sports pitch;
Grass sports pitches and netball courts and
A large school hall with permanent staging for assemblies, drama productions and concerts.
In addition to the five designated ICT rooms the whole school has a wireless network so that we can use our class
sets of laptop computers in every room. Similarly all teaching rooms have an interactive whiteboard.

Enrichment and Extra Curricular Activities

At Alder we provide students with exciting and inspiring opportunities to enrich
their learning through our extra-curricular activities and clubs, educational visits,
residential trips and dedicated enrichment days. These opportunities allow students
to discover and develop new interests and enhance their skills and talents.

The school has a comprehensive programme of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural
education, which is embedded in curriculum subjects and supported in the delivery
of assemblies. Throughout the year the school focuses on different initiatives such
Anti-bullying week and LGBTQ+ Pride week.

The school is regularly involved in fundraising for a variety of local and national
charities.

Just some of the exciting opportunities that students at Alder can choose to take part in: “Students have a strong

(Ofsted)
Leading By Example

Each year a student leadership team is appointed from Year 11. Their role is to inspire and to
motivate their peers and support the younger year groups by modelling behaviour and conduct.
The student leadership team is made up of a Head Girl, Head Boy, Deputy Head Girl and Deputy
Head Boy. They are supported by a team of Senior Prefects, Prefects and Peer Mentors. In
addition, Year 11 Literacy Leaders help to support the development of literacy with our younger
students.

Religious Education 

 

Religious Education at Alder Community High School is taught according to the Tameside Agreed Syllabus. 

Religious Education is not designed to indoctrinate students to a particular religion or belief.  It involves 

learning about different faiths, beliefs and practices and how this might influence a chosen lifestyle.  It allows 

students to learn how to think and talk about their own beliefs and values and to analyse and evaluate the 

responses of other people to important moral issues with a religious dimension.  Parents have the right to 

withdraw their child from Religious Education.   Resilience 

 

Sex and Relationships Education 

 

The Sex and Relationships Education curriculum at Alder Community High School is designed to ensure 

students are taught the knowledge and life skills they will need to stay safe and develop healthy and 

supportive relationships, particularly dealing with the challenges of growing up in an online world.  The school
