At Ashwood, we are passionate about working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders to remove barriers and empower our children to believe and achieve.
We are deeply committed to raising the aspirations of all learners and enabling every child to reach their DREAMs. Through our carefully designed DREAM curriculum, we provide the highest quality opportunities and enriching experiences, helping every child realise their full potential.
We are incredibly proud of our diverse school community, with over 51 languages spoken - something we celebrate and value as a strength that enriches our learning environment.
At Ashwood, we are proud to be a Centre of Excellence through the Inclusion Quality Mark for the past three years, reflecting our strong commitment to inclusive education. Our purposefully designed SEND curriculum, delivered within specialist provisions, enables pupils with high needs to thrive in a mainstream setting, supporting both academic progress and essential life skills. This is complemented by a range of nurture-based interventions to support wellbeing and emotional development.
We are recognised nationally for our innovation in technology, holding the “Best Use of ICT” award. Our 1:1 device programme in Key Stage 2 and our role as an LBQ Ambassador School enhance learning, particularly in maths. We also hold the Primary Science Quality Mark and Gold Status for Mental Health and Wellbeing, affirming our holistic approach. Underpinning all aspects of our provision is a strong commitment to research-informed teaching, ensuring the best outcomes for all learners.
