We work in close partnership with our community, parents/carers and governors to achieve this ideal and to deliver what we consider to be a first class education.We value: hard work, kindness, perseverance, aspiration, service to others, courtesy, honesty and tolerance. As such, we ask all members of our community to: Be Kind, Work Hard, Challenge Yourself.We are:inclusive as we will never choose which students to work withambitious because we always want the best for everyone in our communitycollaborative as we recognise that our partners make us stronger.In recent years, examination results have been impressively strong. Our students achieve well above local and national averages at both GCSE and A Level in terms of what they attain and most importantly, the progress they make is exceptional.Allerton High is a caring school that combines a genuine interest in the individual with a desire to develop all members of the community. We do this by creating a supportive environment for learning and insisting on the highest standards of behaviour.We are proud of our state-of-the-art building, fully equipped with ICT and flexible learning spaces.
