Admissions
Welcome to Aylesham Primary School
At Aylesham our vision is Digging Deep, Expanding Minds. To help us achieve this, we follow the Aylesham MIND, a set of values and learning behaviours that guide how we learn, treat one another, and face challenges. It is our aim to ensure children thrive and grow in their learning journey so they become independent learners and thinkers in all areas of the curriculum and beyond.
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
