Recognising its historic foundation, St Aidan’s aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice.

A welcome from Kate Stevens, Headteacher at St Aidan's VC Primary School.

During the 19th century, very few children went to school so the Church of England created schools in huge numbers to offer a basic education to the poor. In 1887, the Church opened a secondary school for girls on Church land – our school’s current site. The school was built by the Church Schools’ Company and within a few years became known as Saint Aidan’s.

St Aidan’s is a Voluntary Controlled Church of England primary school.

St. Aidan’s prides itself on being a school that embraces difference and we welcome children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

The health, safety and well-being of all our children are of paramount importance to everyone who works in our school. All children have the right to protection from harm and they have a right to be safe in our school.

Ideally, children should be in school, on time, 100% of the time. We attach great importance to making a prompt start to the day so children should arrive punctually at 8.45 am (8.30 am for the Nursery) every day. Lateness and absence affect all children’s learning, not just those directly involved. Children should be at school for the full 32.5 hours a week.

Good behaviour is important at St. Aidan’s – and parents and carers have an important part to play. A happy school is one where children are confident and respect the rights of others. They must be able to work and play safely, and we expect them to follow our behaviour policy and golden rules.

The Pupil Premium Grant was introduced in April 2011. It was allocated to children from low income families who were known to be eligible for free school meals, and children who had been looked after continuously for more than six months.

The primary PE and sport premium was introduced in March 2013 to improve the provision of physical education and school sport in primary schools across England. The £160 million per year funding (that has been doubled to £320 million in the year 1017-18 following the introduction of the sugar tax) is provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health, and Culture, Media and Sport (DfE, DH, DCMS). The funding is allocated directly to primary schools and is ring-fenced. This means it may only be spent on improving the provision of PE and sport in schools.

We currently have no vacancies.
