About St Aidan's Church of England Academy

St Aidan’s is part of a wider family of schools called Northern Lights Learning Trust. Our Trust has 3 secondary academies and 7 primary academies which are located across the North East of England. As a Trust, we believe that we ‘Shine Stronger Together’ and to achieve this, secondary academies are now aligning some of their systems and processes to share the very best practice to support our students.
At St Aidan’s, our school vision is ‘Life in all its fullness’, John 10:10. We endeavour to give the students the best possible educational experience both in and outside the classroom. Our dedicated staff go above and beyond for the students, and due to the size of the school, there is a real family feel to the academy with a focus on that sense of belonging.
Recently, we have reset our core values. Through student and staff voice, we selected our new core values which are Integrity, Perseverance, Patience and Courage and these now permeate everyday life at the academy.
We want all our students to reach their full potential. With guidance and support from their families and our staff, we hope each one will be able to develop their individual talents and fulfil their lifelong goals. We set high expectations of behaviour, conduct and, most importantly, learning and progress regardless of the students’ background. We strive to remove any barriers so children experience success at school.
