Aldwickbury School

Word From The Head

From Paul Symes, Headmaster

It is a great privilege to lead such an outstanding school alongside a team of highly skilled staff who work together to deliver an education that respects tradition whilst being forward-thinking in its approach. As a school, we place great emphasis on values that prepare children for the wider world.

At the heart of the Aldwickbury community lies our belief that pastoral care should form the bedrock for academic success. Every child is nurtured and encouraged to try their best, embrace challenge and most importantly; be kind.

Through an extensive and varied curriculum we aim to equip all the children with the skills to be happy and confident, build relationships with their peers and staff and develop strategies for coping with the challenges life presents.

The breadth of opportunities on offer at Aldwickbury is something we are incredibly proud of. The pupils are challenged and engaged academically but also benefit from a wide-ranging co-curricular programme making full use of our extensive grounds and facilities. The school offers pupils of all abilities a myriad of exciting opportunities to develop their confidence and unearth their talents in the arts, STEM, on stage, in music and on the sports field.

The journey through the school prepares the children to leave at 13 when we believe they are truly ready for senior school education.

I believe Aldwickbury is unique. I speak on behalf of the school when I invite you and your family to come and visit, allowing you to sense the warm welcome from the pupils, staff and our parent community.

Please do book a visit either for our next open morning or for a private tour.

I very much look forward to welcoming you.
