Welcome to Aldersley High School

The Amethyst Sixth provides a fantastic opportunity for students from across the city to flourish and develop on both an academic and a personal level. It is our belief that every student’s learning journey with us is not simply about an excellent set of exam results but that every student is ready for their future lives and every student is a leader. ​Our experienced team of teachers and leaders endeavour to provide a wealth of opportunities that enable all our students to develop as independent world citizens and be successful now and after they leave. We are fully committed to providing our young adults with all the support they need, helping them to reach and exceed expectations and dreams. Above all, we support all our students to discover who they can be and what they can achieve. ​We are here for our students every step of the way. Whether they need support in choosing their options or advice about taking their next big step; our dedicated Sixth Form team are on hand. The Futures Program bridges the gap between school and university or the world of work with tailored study support existing alongside UCAS and careers guidance.​The Amethyst Sixth curriculum, co-curriculum, pastoral care and our high expectations are all shaped with their futures in mind; when they leave us, they are ready to make their impact in the wider world, having made friends and gained skills for life.Mrs Bhangal
