Aston Lodge Primary aims to provide opportunities for pupils to become physically
confident in a way which supports their health and fitness, with a clear focus on personal best.
As well as our enriched and progressive curriculum, we offer pupils the opportunity to compete
in extra-curricular sports and offer alternative provision including outdoor adventurous activities
and swimming. This helps build character and reinforce values such as self-belief, teamwork and
respect.
