Aston by Sutton Primary School is a smaller than average, rural primary school. The school building itself was built in 1904, but there has been a village school on site for even longer than this. We have had numerous extensions over the years, and each build has added to but retained many original features.
Currently there are 103 children on role and they are organised into 4 classes: EYFS, Y1/2, Y3/4 and Y5/6 . We are proud of the hard work, progress and achievements our children make during their time at Aston, and enjoy celebrating their successes in many different ways including Star of the week, Times Table Rockstar of the week, Star Writer and Star Reader as an example.
In addition to their class, the children are grouped into family groups to foster friendships, fun and learning across the school. The Families meet fortnightly to discuss key school issues, arrange fundraising events, and are an effective way to enjoy theme days and weeks eg World War 1 day, European Languages day.
The family groups are based on local animals: Squirrels, Moles, Pheasants and Badgers.
