iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Our School The Aldgate School is a unique Church of England school in the heart of the City of London. Our School was founded by over 300 years ago and to this day we remain proudly supported by our trustees, The Portal Trust. We are the only maintained school in the City of London and enjoy many benefits from this unique relationship.
Our aim is to provide an exceptional education for every child. To nurture their talents, strive for excellence and inspire young people to be the best they can be. Our pupils learn in a safe and caring environment where everyone is valued.
We prepare our children for life in all it's fullness and as a result, they leave us as active citizens, ready for their next steps in the world. We believe education is a partnership between home and school.
Ms A Allan Headteacher Our Vision Our vision Every member of our school community will develop a questioning approach to faith, grounded in the principles of Christian hope, which prompts everyone to seize every opportunity for growth, to look beyond themselves and lovingly serve their community and the wider world. Faith, hope and love abide, these three: and the greatest of these is love.
