St Aidan's Voluntary Controlled Primary School

[EduCativ]

St Aidan’s Voluntary Controlled Primary is a small, Church of England school in North London, serving the local community. It has a strong network of staff, parents, and children who work together to make the school a happy and vibrant place. We are extremely proud to have been awarded Outstanding status in our most recent Ofsted inspection.

Our vision is to provide high-quality education in an inclusive and caring community, where children can realize their full potential and secure their future as life-long learners.

Recognizing its historic foundation, St Aidan’s aims to serve its community by providing an education of the highest quality within the context of Christian belief and practice. We warmly welcome children from all faiths, as well as those from non-faith backgrounds. Together, staff, children, parents, and governors, endeavor to make our school a friendly place in which everybody feels valued.

Our approach is based on strong Christian principles and we expect all children, staff, and stakeholders (parents, carers, and governing body members) to respect them. Our website aims to keep you informed about all aspects of the school, as well as showcasing the work of our children.

Guided by these values we are committed to:

• Developing active, responsible children who will go on to play a positive role in society
• Providing a safe, supportive, and academically challenging environment
• Excellent teaching, which is both creative and innovative and which harnesses the benefits of new technology.
• The use of different teaching approaches which address the needs of all children.
• Celebrating individual achievements and giving feedback so that children know how they are progressing and how they can improve.
• Open communication between parents, children, and teachers.
• Offering early support for children with additional educational needs.

If a child becomes unwell or has an accident in school, he or she will be seen by one of our first-aiders. The parents or carers will be contacted immediately if the child has been involved in a serious accident or is too ill to remain in school. It is therefore vital that parents and carers complete and returns the Welfare Form which contains, along with relevant details of the child’s medical needs, parent and carer contact information. This form is issued when the child starts school and it must be kept up to date.

We follow the LA’s guidance on giving medicines in school. Medicines needing to be administered during school hours must be given directly to the Accident Reporting Officer along with precise delivery instructions a form giving consent for the medicine to be administered will also need to be signed. Only medicines prescribed by a doctor are permitted.
