What This School Does Well

Aylesford School provides an inclusive environment where pupils feel safe and valued. The early years and primary phase excel at building strong foundations, and sixth-form students lead by example as mentors. The school offers an impressive range of enrichment activities and takes personal development seriously, preparing pupils well for their futures.

Key Strengths

  • Early years and primary phase provide a strong foundation with well-matched activities and effective teaching of phonics
  • Sixth-form students are engaged in ambitious learning and positively mentor younger pupils
  • School identifies pupils with SEND accurately and provides effective support strategies
  • Personal development is prioritized well with comprehensive PSHE curriculum and careers guidance
  • New leadership has brought strategic direction and positive staffing changes

Areas for Improvement

  • Some secondary pupils disrupt learning and do not follow high behaviour expectations; staff do not address poor behaviour consistently
  • Teachers in key stages 3 and 4 do not check pupils' learning well enough to adapt teaching to meet individual needs
  • Some pupils have low attendance, particularly in secondary phase
  • Phonics achievement needs further improvement

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with clear procedures in place and pupils knowing who to talk to about concerns.
