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’.

Dr Jude Mellor
Headteacher

The Art department was asked to create a new exhibition to pay tribute to the 122 Ashby School students who gave their lives in conflict.

The Year 9 have created Suffolk Puff Poppies that are seen on the soldier figure and also created `Peace in our Hands` photography and paper collage poppies that are featured in the windows of the Arts block. The year 12 created plastic poppies on stems and Jane Roberts (grandmother to two year 7 Ashby School students and Kate Storer`s mum) hand crocheted 290 poppies that have been hand sewn onto a green mesh fabric to compliment the work of the students.

The work is on display for the open days, open evening and to commemorate Remembrance Day 2026.
