Culture at the heart of learning

Welcome to Ashby School

Ashby is a school with a proud history and a strong position in the local community as an established 11-18 provision and we know that all members of our school community are benefitting from the opportunities this has created.

Ashby School prides itself on putting students at its heart. We want all our students to have a happy and successful learning experience and are committed to ensuring that all students fulfil their academic potential. However, at Ashby, we realise that school success is about more than academic standards and offer our students a range of opportunities to enable them to embrace our core values. These encourage students to show Respect, accept Responsibility and build Resilience to prepare them for a successful future.

Education has faced many challenges over the last few years, all of which have impacted students enormously in many ways. We continue to work hard to ensure that students have the opportunity to embrace their education so that school can be the happy, harmonious and supportive environment in which our students can thrive.

Everyone in the Ashby School community is committed to achieving this, because, at Ashby, ‘Anything is Possible’.

Headteacher
