On behalf of the Governors and staff, I would like to welcome you to Alban Church of England Middle School. I hope you find this prospectus helpful in providing you with an introduction to some of the aims and values that we work to promote and gives you a flavour of life at Alban.

We were delighted that the achievements of pupils, staff and governors were recognised by the OfSTED inspection team in January 2008 who identified Alban as an “outstanding” school. We intend to build on our many achievements and continue to go from strength to strength.

Alban is a dynamic and vibrant community, full of energy and enthusiasm. Our aim is to provide challenging and enjoyable learning experiences in a friendly and supportive Christian environment.

We believe that education succeeds in an atmosphere of encouragement and high expectations. Our strength is to create opportunities for the success of all our children through the quality of our curriculum, the dedication of our staff and the care we have for the children. We believe that every child matters.

We aspire to achieve this through our belief that education is a partnership in which pupils, parents, staff and governors play a vital part.

We look forward to working closely with you to provide a happy and successful education for your child. I hope this prospectus will provide you with an insight into the curriculum and the experiences we offer. A visit to the school can help to complete the picture. We will always be happy to see you.

Yours sincerely

L Dougall
