I would like to welcome you to the Aldryngton Primary School website. Hopefully, this website will give you a flavour of our outstanding community school. At Aldryngton we believe in developing the whole child. We have high academic standards, but also believe in developing personal character and the resilience required to succeed in a global society.
We believe that every child is an individual and we celebrate what each child brings to our school community. Nevertheless, we also endeavour to ensure that children learn the key skills of empathy and understanding to enable teamwork.
We place an emphasis on delivering a broad and balanced curriculum, enriched by our exciting programme of extra- curricular trips, visits and clubs. Our curriculum is enquiry based and has three key drivers- reading and vocabulary; problem solving; collaboration.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
