Welcome to The Alderton Infant School. We hope that you can easily navigate our website and find the information you are looking for! The Alderton Infant School is a really lovely place to be. Our staff team are invested in creating a happy, safe learning environment for every child.
It is important that we get to know our families as well as the children, after all they know the children best and we can learn a lot from them, and in turn we hope to support them through their child's learning journey through the school.
We believe that happy staff, happy home communities will ultimately result in happy children that feel connected to school and the learning environment. We would like to extend a warm invitation to visit the school in order to see 'The Alderton Family' at work.
