Remembrance Day 2020 – please donate
Remembrance events will be very different this year. Please see the letter for details.
In particular, we will not be selling poppies in school this year, but would like to encourage all members of the school community and their families to donate to the Poppy Appeal and the wearing of a poppy is encouraged as a show of support to the Armed Forces community. A Just Giving page has been set up specifically for this purpose which allows Gift Aid to increase gifts further where possible.

Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal & Remembrance Day
Remembrance Sunday provides an opportunity for all of us to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many people in the service of their country. As Headteacher, I regard it as a privilege to be able to represent our school community at the annual parade in Aldridge. I believe that it is important that we take time to remember, with thanks, the service and sacrifice of those who have suffered in conflicts around the globe.

Headteacher’s Welcome
Welcome to Aldridge School. We are a comprehensive school of over 1500 students situated near the centre of Aldridge village. We believe that it is our responsibility to work to meet the needs of every individual student, challenging them to achieve their best, supporting them to become responsible young adults and preparing them for their next steps into the world of work or further education. I am very proud and excited to be the Headteacher of Aldridge School.

Year 8 & 9 move to remote learning for the rest of this week
The number of teaching staff unavailable to work in school this week has increased to the point where we are unable to supervise all students in school for the next three days. This is mostly due to the requirement on some staff to self-isolate and should not, therefore, extend beyond the half term break (including a number of our staff have been identified as close contacts of people who have tested positive for COVID-19 outside of our school community).
