Our federation of schools is committed to providing excellence in education. Our aim is for children to leave for the next stage of their education with the confidence and aptitude to make their own valuable contribution to the community, for staff to recognise their contribution to this development of children and parents to genuinely support their son or daughter's education.
Aylestone is a thriving, collaborative and caring school with high aspirations for all students. We pride ourselves on being able to offer something different in the city. We are a smaller school, but big enough to offer the breadth of choice and opportunities that other schools do. We know all our children and have a school ethos based on mutual respect. Put simply, we are a happy, caring school, small enough to know each student, but also big enough to offer extensive choice and opportunities.
Mr S P Robertson (Executive Headteacher)

Year 9 spent the morning at Hereford and Ludlow College. They explored the options available to them after Aylestone. The STEM activity saw one team wire a switch and light in just over 6mins. #ProudAYLE https://t.co/v9KOiCT0Fy

We had a very fun assembly this morning to kick start our Science day. Mrs Perez from @Aylestone_hfds came over to speak to us about 'connections'. She then showed us lots of experiments that all have connections in. #BLANDSscience #BritishScienceWeek https://t.co/uzLU0OY7gN

Another great day for science week. Students had a go at working out how many food miles their lunch had done, as well as taking part in the competition to plan a meal with the least amount of miles. #ProudAYLE https://t.co/QqKaM9G0Ev

Science week has kicked off in Aylestone school today with a interactive assembly resulting in a rather eggy mess, making gliders and a treasure hunt to find the famous scientists that the teachers are pretending to be, lots more exciting stuff happening throughout the week. https://t.co/s7YNzr6u3y
