St Aidan’s CofE Primary School is currently rated as requiring improvement overall, with notable strengths in pupil behavior and personal development. Pupils express a strong sense of belonging and demonstrate politeness and thoughtfulness towards each other and staff. However, there are significant concerns regarding the quality of education, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and the effectiveness of the curriculum delivery in some subjects. Recent enhancements to the curriculum have not yet translated into consistent achievements for all pupils, leading to uneven outcomes in learning.
