Welcome to Ashton St. Peter's Church of England VA Lower School "To Seek to Open our Hearts and Minds to the Love of God and Learning." Welcome to Ashton St. Peters Church of England VA Primary School Ashton St. Peters is a small, friendly Church of England Primary school with 210 pupils situated on the west side of Dunstable in Bedfordshire.
Our aim is for all of our children to become happy, caring, responsible independent learners who achieve personal success and feel secure and valued in our Christian environment. To achieve this we provide a strong, Christian ethos which encourages the children to love and respect one another and to love God.
"Values Education" is embedded through Christian collective worship and throughout the whole curriculum. We provide opportunities and positive role models to allow children to develop independence and responsibility.
We plan and implement a broad, balanced "Creative Curriculum" which is challenging and inclusive to all and are continually looking for ways to innovate and improve what we do. Welcome message from Martin Wild → Chair of Governors Ashton St Peters Finding the keys to life and learning
