message from the principal

I am absolutely delighted to share this amazing opportunity at Alder Tree Primary, as we seek to recruit another talented and aspirational professional to join our team.

I am confident that having read about the White Rose Academies Trust, Alder Tree Primary, our students, and our continuing journey of transformation, you will be keen to become an integral part of something remarkable. We are proud to have secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted judgement in November 2023.

Here at Alder Tree, we are on an exciting journey, not only to transform children’s lives, but to work with all our stakeholders including parents, carers and the local community to ensure we are providing a world class education.  We want to guarantee each child the best possible start to their education, ensuring that they continue their journey to become the very best that they can be.

We strongly believe that our vision and culture enable us not only to transform the lives of our young people but transform the local communities which we so passionately serve. Alder Tree Primary is a unique and very special place to work.

Our philosophy is grounded equally in securing the highest professional standards and supporting and caring for all professionals. As a key member of the White Rose Academies Trust, all professionals benefit from exceptional CPD like no other in the city.

We strongly urge you to read the academy’s ‘Good’ Ofsted report. Achieving this recognition of the entire staff team’s hard work and determination is something we are immensely proud of. Alder Tree Primary is an exciting place for children to learn. We are a school that prides ourselves on the positive, nurturing relationships that we have with all children while instilling the highest expectations of them. Children learn and thrive through the rigorous curriculum we have implemented.

Achieving the High Performance School’s Award was another significant achievement for the school. We are continuing this journey to become a ‘World Class School’. This means we believe that all children have the potential to achieve, and we empower them to believe this through teaching them exemplary values, attitudes, and attributes in learning behaviours.

SO, NOW IT’S OVER TO YOU…

•           Are you eager to join a forward-thinking organisation committed to securing the highest educational, professional, and personal standards? 

•           Do you feel you will thrive within a culture that is driven by clear values that permeate everything we do?

•           Are you keen to learn, develop and work alongside colleagues, students, parents and the community?

•           Do you feel passionately about transforming student lives and the opportunities provided to our communities? If so, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

•           We need talented and aspirational teachers to continue to make a difference to children at Alder Tree primary. All staff who join the academy are supported through coaching to continually improve and feel valued; this coaching model was recognised by Ofsted. This is alongside a high standard of CPD sessions so that teachers as well as pupils can thrive. ECT’s are further supported by the Early Careers Framework with high quality mentoring. 

Yours sincerely, 

Mrs Burton 

Principal
