"St Aidan's Church of England Primary Academy is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish."

"School leaders are deeply responsive to the needs of their community. Their commitment to nurturing a sense of belonging for all has created a compassionate and inclusive school."

"The curriculum enables pupils to explore their uniqueness so that they recognise and value their own strengths and self-worth."

"Leaders use a variety of creative approaches that inspire pupils and adults to explore their vision and values. This nurtures personal reflection and develops pupils' confidence and respect for others."

Information for Parents

As a Church school, St. Aidan's undergoes a SIAMS inspection every five years. This evaluation assesses how our Christian vision influences our students and staff. We are examined on our Christian beliefs, the programs and initiatives we implement based on these beliefs, and how effectively these efforts help all students thrive.

As with all maintained schools in England they:

  • teach Religious Education in line with the locally agreed syllabus
  • hold acts of collective worship every day

In addition, Church of England Schools provide:

  • education underpinned by Christian values
  • a culture guided by the Christian way of life
  • care of each individual as a unique part of God's creation
  • close links with the community
  • partnership with the local Anglican church and congregation.
