Welcome from the Head Teacher
A very warm welcome to St Aidan’s Catholic Primary School.
On behalf of the staff and governors, I am delighted to welcome you and your family to St Aidan’s Catholic Primary School. We are a happy, thriving, one-form entry school, dedicated to providing an exceptional education rooted in a strong Catholic ethos.
Our motto, ‘Living and Growing in Christ,’ sits at the heart of everything we do. It guides our children's journey, ensuring that together, we can truly flourish. We take great pride in our pupils; by the time they complete Key Stage 2, they leave us as confident, responsible citizens, inspired by their faith and ready to contribute to the world.
We believe that education is a partnership. We nurture close relationships with our families, who are valued members of our vibrant community. Our committed staff provide a broad, exciting curriculum designed to spark a lifelong love of learning and create memories that last a lifetime.
By fostering resilience and a positive mindset, we empower our students to believe that any goal is achievable.
At St. Aidan’s we are readers, writers, mathematicians, theologians, scientists, musicians, computer scientists, artists, linguists, historians and geographers. Children leave us in year 6 with a thirst for learning and an understanding they are destined to be what they want to be.
Our core values—Kindness, Resilience, Respect, Self-Belief, Diversity, and Honesty—are the building blocks of life at St Aidan’s. As a small school, we offer a unique environment where every child, from Reception to Year 6, knows and supports one another.
We are proud that Ofsted continues to recognise us as a 'Good' school, and we are particularly delighted to have been graded 'Outstanding' by the Diocese in 2022.
We hope you enjoy exploring our website. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to learn more about our special community.

Our Mission Statement
"Living And Growing In Christ"
Christ’s ministry, as recounted in the Gospels, and the values he promoted through his teachings are fundamental to the life of our school in fulfilling its purpose as a Catholic institution. This is reflected in our Collective Worship, our teaching and learning and the way in which we treat one another.
Living and growing in Christ, the children are at the centre of all that we do and their potential to achieve is recognised. Their time in our school is characterised by a sense of belonging, security, challenge and appreciation.
