Aughton Junior Academy

Within ACET, we are dedicated to providing our children with an exciting and stimulating learning environment. We believe that physical activity (during lessons, play and extra-curricular) is essential when developing the whole child, as a motivating factor for academic learning and in educating pupils for life long healthy living.
