Thank you for visiting our website. We hope it gives you an insight to some of the wonderful things that go on in our school. Church Aston Infant School has a special charm all of its own. We aim to offer our children a unique learning opportunity where each child is encouraged to have fun with their learning.
To explore the world around them and to challenge themselves to do their best and to reach their full potential. We have an extremely dedicated team of staff, Governors and parents that all work together to ensure our children receive an education that is focussed on their needs, abilities and interests.
Our curriculum is wide ranging offering real life experiences wherever possible in order to engage our children and support them in their development of lifelong skills. Our school is based on positive relationships. We encourage children to focus on our school values of care, learn, respect, safe and fun. We have high expectations of behaviour that children respond well to.
We aim for a calm and purposeful environment in which children are confident to take risks in their learning, are able to work independently and demonstrate co-operation with others.
