Welcome to the webpage for our school! Sharing with you the amazing opportunities and advancements at St. Aidan's CE Primary School makes me feel especially proud. Children at St. Aidan's are passionate and driven to fulfil their unlimited potential. The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and in the future. At St. Aidan's, we think kids should be interested in what they are studying. Through our engaging curriculum, we ensure that children can foster a passion for learning that will help to develop high aspirations and a lifetime of memories.
