Welcome from our
Headteacher

It is a pleasure to welcome you to Aldercar High School. Our aim is to provide every young person with an engaging and enriching educational experience that supports both academic achievement and personal development. As a smaller school, we are proud of our inclusive nature, strong sense of community and the high ambitions we hold for every student. At the heart of our work is a simple but powerful vision: every child is known, every lesson counts and every future is unlocked. This underpins everything we do and ensures that all students are supported to achieve their very best during their time with us.

We are proud to be part of Embark Federation, a family of schools across Derbyshire.  We work closely with our Embark Family to ensure that our school is at the heart of the community and to live our values of Family, Integrity, Teamwork and Success. We also have a core purpose to enable everyone to be able to 'Love Learning, Love Life'.
