From November we will no longer be sending text messages home, instead all messages will go through the Arbor Parent App.
You need to ensure that your parents have this free app on their phones. A letter has been sent home and all the information on how to get the app is on the school website under the section ‘Latest News’
If you are still having issues please email the school on; contactus@aylwardacademy.org
We are proud to announce the opening of our school food bank project.
It is clear that some families acutely feel the pressures of the current financial climate. We have been keen at Aylward to see how we could further help and assist our families in times of need and have now launched our on site food bank for assistance to those families who may need a little extra support during these challenging times.
Please read our letter below for further details
Dear Parents and Carers,
At Aylward Academy, we believe every young person has the potential to lead a long, happy and successful life that leaves a positive legacy. Our vision for all Aylward alumni is clear: “This community inspires a love of learning and enables alumni to lead long, happy and successful lives that leave a positive legacy.” Our mission is simple but ambitious: to provide an excellent education to every child, in every classroom, every day.
We are proud of our intentional culture, The Aylward Way. This is underpinned by our core values: Excellence, Integrity, Kindness, and Self-Control. These values are not just ideals; they are taught, modelled and celebrated every day through our Student Culture, Morning Meetings, daily Mini Assemblies and weekly assemblies that deliver our Character Curriculum. We believe that children must be explicitly taught how to behave and succeed which is why it is integrated into every part of what we do at Aylward.
Our curriculum is built on three integrated pillars:
A knowledge-rich Academic Curriculum, grounded in cognitive science, which carefully sequences knowledge to help students move from novices to experts;
A Character Curriculum that promotes personal development through daily tutor sessions, assemblies, PSHCE and RSE ensuring students develop spiritually, morally, socially and culturally;
The Aylward Entitlement, a spiralled enrichment offer centred on the Aspire 5, designed to build cultural and social capital for all students.
We hold the highest expectation of ourselves and our student because we believe every child has the right to succeed. Guided by our values of Excellence, Integrity, Kindness, and Self-Control, we work as one team to create a culture of equity, ambition and belonging. These values are not just taught, they are lived. What we permit, we promote and by modelling the right behaviours, we build the habits that help students realise our vision.
