Welcome to High Ash Church of England School Message from our Headteacher Welcome to High Ash School's website. We hope you find it helpful and informative. I am proud to be Headteacher and to work with our children, staff, parents, church and community so that together we can let our light shine.
Every child has the right to Grow Together and Shine Forever as High Ash Stars, guided by our PROUD principles and Christian values. We aim for high academic achievement while also developing caring, responsible individuals who make a positive difference in society. Our motto, Let your light shine (Matthew 5:16), chosen by the children, reflects this vision.
Our dedicated staff provide a rich curriculum, opportunities for reflection and worship, and constant encouragement so every child can thrive academically, morally, and spiritually. If you share this vision, we warmly invite you to visit and see our school in action. More details can be found on our About Us and School Information pages.
I look forward to working with you to help every child shine.
