The Aldgate School (formerly Sir John Cass's Foundation Primary School) is a Church of England primary school located in the City of London, England.[1] It is the only state-funded school in the City of London. The last Ofsted report in 2013 classed it as "Outstanding".[2] The school was founded in 1709 in the churchyard of St Botolph's Aldgate.[3]
The school was previously named after Sir John Cass but was renamed The Aldgate School in September 2020 in the light of Cass's links with the Atlantic slave trade.[4]
Catchment
[edit]The Aldgate School admits pupils from the age of 4 (Reception) to the 6th year. There is currently one class of approximately 30 students per year. The school has a small priority catchment area that includes all of the City of London plus a few streets to the east, as far as the A1202 road, Commercial Street, Leman Street and Royal Mint Street.
