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

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.

In the 2016 reception class, a bulge class was established. For the first time, there were two classes of 30 pupils starting in September 2016. This class moved through the school year-on-year. There will not be an additional class at all levels, just one bulge class.
