About us

On 1st January, 2015 St. Aidan’s successfully converted to academy status and is now part of the Cidari Multi Academy Trust, set up by The Diocese of Blackburn.

We are a busy and friendly school, with lots going on. St. Aidan’s has the highest academic aspirations and, at the same time, maintains a caring, family orientated culture, with a high level of pastoral care. We are a school that encourages and celebrates a love of learning, where each pupil is known and cared about as an individual. We have created not only a school but a community of pupils, parents and teachers brought together by their shared dedication and relentless commitment to doing whatever it takes to ensure every child reaches his or her full potential.

Our school is a calm, purposeful environment that embraces all learners. We have the highest expectations for each and every member of our school community. Our teachers and support staff are dedicated, high performing professionals who go the extra mile in order to make a difference to our pupils’ lives.

"To provide high quality education for all children based on clearly established Christian values and principles."

We work closely and collaboratively with our schools and other partners to ensure that we offer a strong caring ethos and a clear moral purpose. We encourage all our schools to see themselves as part of a family with a shared vision, identity and purpose whilst maintaining their individuality.

We are committed to achieving excellence in education and see it as the right of every child to achieve their full potential and to flourish academically, socially, spiritually and emotionally.

We aim to ensure:

  • High academic standards and improve school performance
  • Raised community aspirations
  • An inclusive and welcoming environment for those of all faiths or of none
  • An open Christian ethos within whose values all can achieve their full potential
  • Inspirational teaching

Are you joining our team as an employee, volunteer or Governor?

Established in November 2013 Cidari Education is a growing education sponsor and part of the Blackburn Diocese. Through the recruitment of passionate, engaging and inspirational people we are committed to providing high quality education for all children in our academies based on clearly established Christian values and principles.

We see it as the right of every child in our schools to receive the best educational experience possible which develops them academically, socially, spiritually and emotionally.
