At Aldrington, we believe that children grow and learn in a safe, happy and stimulating environment; a place where they are valued as individuals, encouraged to grow in self-esteem and given every opportunity to flourish and reach their potential. At the heart of Aldrington is our lively and evangelical Christian faith.
As we foster respect for each other and our environment, and develop tolerance and understanding for the cultural diversity of the world in which we live, we seek to lay Christian foundations from which children can grow into caring and responsible adults in society. Our school motto, Learning God's way , and six school values encapsulate and underpin all that we do.
