We aim to give you key information about the school but also a feel for our brilliant school community. We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, and that you find any information you are looking for. Ashmead Primary is a two-form entry primary school in the London Borough of Lewisham.
We are lucky to have bright and spacious classrooms together with a beautiful tree-filled playground and our own Forest School on site. Our vision for children is that through excellent teaching and care they know they are loveable and capable. Our school is well-resourced and we have a newly opened library - reading is something we are passionate about.
We are also very keen on the arts and have a classroom dedicated to the teaching of art and design and technology. Our music provision is also something we are really proud of and as well as great singing provision each class learns a musical instrument from Y3 to Y6 (in order recorder, ukulele, guitar, drums). These are just a few examples of our brilliant curriculum.
