At Aston we are committed to ensuring that all children have access to a broad and well balanced curriculum. We recognise that some children need additional support to close the gap between their peers. Some need additional time and support to complete their homework. Some need support with health and wellbeing.
Through our strong and positive engagement with children and parents, we will ensure that every child at Aston has the same opportunities to grow and flourish as lifelong learners, engaging well with new learning, and forging and encouraging aspirational learning to take place.
