Priority for admissions is firstly given to baptised Catholics who are resident in the parish of St Aidan's, Coulsdon, followed by Catholic children who live in other parishes.

Welcome to St Aidan’s Catholic Primary School, a happy and successful over-subscribed school, serving the families of the worshipping Catholic community of Coulsdon. We are committed to providing the highest quality of education within a strong Catholic context. 

When a child arrives at St Aidan's. they start their journey with us, one where the whole community works together to guide them towards the discovery of their own unique set of God-given talents.

Our pupils are proud of their school and when they leave here they are confidently able to contribute to society as good and responsible citizens, who are proud of their Catholic faith.
