Through the Ashmead learning community, effective partnerships on all levels enhance opportunity and creativity, leading to brighter futures for all.

We hope that Ashmead is a place that is exciting to visit and difficult to leave. A place where ‘people’, no matter what their role, feel valued, feel equal and feel safe. A place that is much more than a School, but rather an experience, where learners are motivated by a thematic curriculum and taught through first hand experiences that make learning relevant and exciting. A place where pupil’s thirst for challenge and need for support are satisfied in equal measure. A place that recognises and promotes the importance of ‘partnerships’ as a key element of success. A place where people are respected and so they respect, where they are inspired and so they inspire. A place filled with smiles and happiness where children are nurtured until they flourish and gain the strength and confidence to fly.

Ashmead gives its children two everlasting things …… One is roots, the other wings.
