A Very Warm Welcome From The Head Teacher

We warmly welcome you to Bishop Aldhelm’s C.E. Primary School.  We are a family school founded upon a Christian tradition of faithful service to the local community. We serve both the Parish of St. Aldhelm’s Church and Poole Borough’s Designated Catchment Area for our school.

It is a privilege to be entrusted with the job of leading the school that I believe has an amazing charm and values, which hold the children at its heart. We are lucky to have a highly-skilled, committed team who strive for the upmost success for our children and who have a caring and supportive philosophy at their core.  Bishop Aldhelm’s Primary School is undoubtedly a unique school and I feel honoured to be leading us forward.
