Aragon is a very popular three-form entry school set in spacious grounds on the border of Merton and Sutton.
Our children are at the heart of all we do here at Aragon; they are encouraged to have high expectations of themselves, to be responsible young people, tolerant of others, hard-working and kind. We try to create as many opportunities as possible for children to show responsibility and contribute to society. We believe in a broad and deep curriculum which is truly inclusive so all children reach their potential and a love of learning is fostered. Play is valued too and our extensive grounds are put to good use every day with a huge variety of activities to keep our children busy and engaged
