Achieving Excellence Together

Welcome From Mr B Worth | Headteacher

Welcome to Aldridge School. As Headteacher, I am proud to lead a community where we work together so that every young person can thrive—academically, personally and socially.

 

Our shared purpose is captured in our motto, Achieving Excellence Together. We strive to be an exceptional school that secures outstanding progress and achievement for all students, underpinned by highly effective teaching and strong learning habits. We are guided by three core values—honesty, kindness and respect—and we work hard to ensure that every student leaves us with the knowledge, character and confidence needed for a meaningful and successful future.

  • School closure - Thursday 25th June 2026 

    Following careful consideration of the latest weather forecast and the exceptionally high temperatures expected within the school building, we have made the difficult decision to close Aldridge School to all students on Thursday 25th June. 

    Over recent days we have implemented a number of measures to help reduce the impact of the heat, including allowing students to wear PE kit, ensuring classrooms are well ventilated wherever possible, providing regular access to drinking water, and restricting physical and sporting activities during social times.

    Despite these measures, temperatures within classrooms and teaching spaces are forecast to remain uncomfortably high throughout the day. Unfortunately, our building is unable to maintain a safe and suitable learning environment during these extreme conditions. 

    The safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our highest priority, and this decision has not been taken lightly. We appreciate the disruption this may cause to families and thank you for your understanding and continued support.

    Students will be able to access remote independent learning during the closure. Work will be available through Microsoft Teams, as well as via the Remote Learning section of our school website. Students can also access our Padlet pages, which contain a range of curriculum resources, quizzes and knowledge organisers to support their learning. 

    A reminder that the school is already closed to students on Friday 26th June due to our scheduled staff training day. 

    Any Year 10 mock examinations scheduled to take place on Thursday will be rearranged, and students will be informed of the revised timetable as soon as possible. We would encourage all Year 10 students to use this additional time to revise for their remaining mock examinations by accessing the resources available through Microsoft Teams, Padlet and the Remote Learning section of our website.

    We currently expect to be fully open as normal from Monday 29th June. We will continue to monitor the weather conditions closely and will email parents and carers by the end of Friday 26th June with an update on the uniform expectations for the following week.

    Further information is also available on our school website.

    Thank you for your continued support.
