Discriminates
This school is NOT inclusive. The Headteacher states on their website “Our school is inclusive in nature and values young people of all abilities…”This is simply NOT TRUE. The Governors do not do anything to hold the Head to account for failing the most vulnerable pupils at this school. The SENCO is not fit for purpose. Staff there need to be supported to whistleblow on the discriminatory and bullying practices the pupils at the school are subjected to. Or perhaps they don’t have the awareness d...

Would not recommend.
This school is not a nice environment to be in, or for your kids to be in. The school has massively gone downhill over the years. Bullying is a HUGE problem at Alder Grange, but nothing ever gets done about it. There are, however, a handful of staff that are lovely, and actually want what's best for their students and are willing to help their students if they ever need it. There are however, some staff that think it's "banter" to make fun of other students and/or staff members when they are s...

quite possibly the most awful place ive ever been
if i could give this place 0 stars i would. it is DISGUSTING. downright vile. most teachers are awful. the worst of the worst. most students behave like animals. smoking, vaping, drugs, fights, clique behaviour practically runs through the veins of the place. i cant stress enough. dont send your kids there. itll mess them up for life.

Poor Leadership
Poor management, not a strong leadership team. Things don’t get sorted. SEND provision is all over the place with a lack of experienced staff, resources and commitment to children. EHCPs take forever to review and apply for. They are segregated and seen as a problem. If your child is autistic there’s no place for them long term at this school.

Do not go!
Shocking how bad the head teacher is with how she thinks her school is the best when its clearly not. bullying is a massive problem and no one seems to care

It’s gone downhill
The school used to be alright however it’s gone especially downhill. The school doesn’t care about students bringing in e-cigarettes and being caught with them is a slap on the wrist etc. The school is rampant with bullies and people who are there to make others miserable. The teachers are ineffective of sorting out bullies or any similar situations. You are not given a voice here. Teachers even gossip about other students in the staff room! There are many other issues with this school however too many to list. With the current headteacher, she’s being delusional and thinking her school is the best however how she runs it makes these issues much more worse. The only thing this school can cling to is the paralympic swimmer that used to go to this school, mentioning him almost all of the time as this school is filled with people with no talent. I plead for you to not go to this school as it will be a mistake you don’t want to make.

Alder grange
This school holds so much trauma for me. I was bullied and nothing was done about it. I told staff multiple times. I was scared to walk into class. I have autism and they did not accommodate for me at all. Some of the teachers are lovely and I miss them very much. The learning style was not right for me and too much pressure was put on me
