About the School
Aston Tower is a two-form entry multi‑cultural school that serves a community which values and supports our work. The school had a highly successful Ofsted inspection in October 2024 which judged the school to have improved to an ‘outstanding’ level. The school offers specialist support to pupils with Special Educational Needs through our Department for Education (DfE) approved Resource Base that caters for 16 pupils with EHCPs. We have friendly, responsive and enthusiastic children whose attitudes to learning were described as ‘excellent’ by Ofsted, along with their outstanding behaviour. Our staff team is skilled, caring, and committed; trustees are keen to be involved and highly supportive. The school is very well‑resourced in well‑kept modern premises set in spacious grounds.
