From the Alameda Middle School
The students at Alameda Middle School appreciate their education at this well-liked and growing institution. Results from national exams for students have consistently exceeded expectations and have been getting better each year. Students make fantastic development during their four years with us. When our year 8 students graduate, they have far exceeded the national expectations for year 9 students in terms of academic achievement. We offer a diverse and varied curriculum at Alameda Middle School so that students can reach their full potential and maintain high standards. In Year 8, students are given academic "options" that allow them to tailor their education, including taking a second language. Alameda is pleased to be a school that emphasises values. In all we do, we try to reinforce the principles our school has selected. Being the headteacher of Alameda Middle School is a true honour. I am quite aware of the efforts made by the faculty, students, parents, and governors to make Alameda an outstanding school. Alameda has a lot going for it, including a large number of superb, devoted employees and fantastic students. We at Alameda are always eager to have guests tour the facility because this is the greatest way to appreciate its advantages. Please get in touch with the school administration if you want a tour or to arrange a meeting with me. I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you and your child in our neighbourhood and am sure that we will work well together.
