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]
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.
