Aston Tower is a two-form entry multi-cultural school that serves a community which really values and supports our work.  We are very well resourced, have a large and committed staff team, well-behaved, appreciative pupils and highly supportive trustees. The school is set in spacious, attractive and well-kept premises with expansive grounds which offer great potential for learning.
