Job overview


We are keen to appoint a highly motivated, well-qualified and inspirational English      specialist who is, or has the capacity to become, an outstanding teacher. Our highly successful and supportive English faculty is expanding due to the continued growth and success of our new Sixth Form and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach up to KS5. 

There is no doubt that Alderbrook is acknowledged, both locally and nationally, as a high-performing school. Last year, the SSAT recognised Alderbrook as being in the top 10% of schools nationally for Value Added Progress.  Surprisingly however, we pride ourselves in being about so much more than outstanding results. We are a community in every sense of the word.

We are proud to offer:

• a hugely successful, ambitious school - determined to build on the standards we currently achieve 

• consistently high GCSE results: last year 75%*A – C including English and Mathematics 

• a proven track record in -  and full commitment to  - the professional development of colleagues 

• a well-resourced school with extensive grounds 

• a long established record of low staff turnover. 

What does that tell you?  If you would like to join us, application packs can be downloaded from our website. Alternatively, please contact Mrs Sharon Archer at the school, by email or telephone. 

We can’t wait to hear from you!

Situated centrally in Solihull, Alderbrook is a highly successful 11-18 school in the south of the borough. In September 2015 we opened our Sixth Form which is flourishing and providing our learners with a first-rate post 16 experience. The first Year 12 cohort numbered 55 students. As of September 2020 Alderbrook boasts a Sixth Form of over 200 students.

There is no doubt that Alderbrook is acknowledged, both locally and nationally, as a high-performing school. Across the curriculum, the majority of subjects perform well above national values and achieve excellent results. In 2018 Ofsted stated “There is strong teaching in every subject area…as well as very strong practice in Mathematics”

The school enjoys a very pleasant green outlook with wonderful arts and sports facilities. We have an outstanding record for staff career and professional development opportunities which has enabled many of our colleagues to advance their careers not only at Alderbrook but further afield.

Within school we also have a bespoke additionally resourced centre for learners with Autism. Alderbrook has a strong student development department that supports mainstream SEN students. We are a comprehensive in every meaning of the word.

Our staff work collaboratively and enjoy the support of a community atmosphere at Alderbrook and this in turn enables us to build on our strong reputation in the local community, based on our culture of ambition, bravery and kindness where happy, confident and successful learners thrive with a thirst for knowledge.
