Aldworth School
is a popular secondary school in Basingstoke with nearly 1,000 students on
roll. We have been over-subscribed for entry into Year 7 for the past 3 years
and exceeded our published admission numbers in order to meet parental preferences.
With secure student numbers we are in a healthy and stable financial position,
ensuring we have excellent levels of staffing and resources. This is despite
the national issues with funding for schools.
Our school
vision is “to be a vibrant learning community with an ethos of ambition and
achievement.” This is reflected in our expectations: respect yourself and
others, endeavour to do your best and achieve your full potential. Our staff
are a dedicated and enthusiastic team who share our vision for the young people
who come to school here.
We will provide you with
regular training through our INSET meetings (twice every half term) as well as
our whole-school INSET days. We have a collaborative approach to developing
teaching and learning. Teachers plan lessons centred on ‘exploratory
questions’ with the ambition to:
This is a having a really positive impact on
learning and all of our staff share this commitment.
The governors of
Aldworth School are committed to continuing the professional development of
staff and there is a sponsorship scheme which fully funds MA courses and
diplomas from recognised providers. This scheme is available for teaching and
support staff to access and many staff have taken advantage of this opportunity.
As a Hampshire
school we work closely with other local schools and the local authority.
Hampshire officials worked with us investing £2.5 million in redeveloping two
of our buildings and all works were completed on schedule. The Dartmouth
Building was officially reopened by Tracy Edwards OBE in November 2015 and the
Winchester Building was officially reopened in December 2016 by Nigel Atkinson,
HM Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire.
The facilities we
have for our students are excellent and provide us with an outstanding working
environment. If you are interested in working here we look forward to hearing
from you.
