About

At Aston and Cote, we believe childhood should be full of joy, discovery, and wonder. We re passionate about giving children the chance to experience the simple pleasures of being a child, being free, playing, being outdoors, and expressing their creativity.

Our pupils enjoy forest school sessions every fortnight, spend regular afternoons in the garden, and learn outside for around 30% of their week across a range of subjects. These hands-on, real-world experiences spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and help our children feel happy, confident, and connected to the world around them.

Our dedicated team of teachers are committed to helping every child grow their talents and reach their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally. We encourage each pupil to explore learning in their own way, developing confidence, resilience, and a genuine love of learning that will stay with them for life. Community is at the heart of everything we do.

Our school family children, parents, staff, and governors shares a strong sense of care, inclusivity, and mutual respect. We celebrate every child's achievements and value each person's unique contribution to our thriving school life.
