Ashfield Primary is a school rooted in care, ambition, and respect. As the newly appointed Headteacher, I am proud to be leading a school where children are nurtured, challenged, and inspired every day. Our ethos is one of inclusion, enabling all learners to achieve their full potential. Most building works were scheduled to be completed by 1 September.
Unfortunately, there have been significant delays to the schedule. This means we have very restricted access to the site, no parking and disruption to facilities.
We anticipate that work will continue to October half term and apologise in advance to all parents and pupils.--> We want our children to experience: A safe environment with secure boundaries; A forward thinking curriculum with activities to inspire and shape their thinking; Challenges in which they can apply their perseverance and go on to succeed
