From the Aldermaston C.E. Primary School
A medium-sized, semi-rural school, Aldermaston CE Primary School is located in the charming community of Aldermaston.
Our school offers an inclusive education to people of all religions and backgrounds in keeping with that foundation.
Visitors are immediately struck by the school's upbeat, joyful atmosphere as well as the gorgeous countryside environment, which includes an adventure playground, a garden where the students produce their own flowers and veggies (and occasionally supply the kitchen! ), and more.
The school's vision, established by the governors, and its goals, developed with input from students, parents, and staff, emphasise assisting students in becoming the best versions of themselves in all facets of their lives.
Please click on the link above to learn more about the three principles of compassion, respect, and striving for the best.
Everyday activities at school are focused on teaching and preparing students for future learning as well as for life.
With each child belonging to one of the four houses鈥擣orster, Achard, Congreve, and Keyser鈥攏amed after prior lords of the manor, we also have historical ties to Aldermaston Manor.
We also take advantage of "Playzone," our breakfast and after-school programme that has received a "Outstanding" rating from Ofsted.
This organisation, which is separate from the school but with whom we collaborate closely, offers children high-quality care and activities from 8 am before school until 6 pm after school.
We have chosen to use the pear tree as our official symbol to represent our mission, goals, and activities. You can see it on our home page.
