Headmaster's Welcome

One of the most uplifting aspects of my job is talking to prospective parents after their tour of Ashfold because invariably they begin by telling me what a wonderful atmosphere we have created here.

This is of course hard to put across in a website or prospectus because it is a 'feeling' gained by witnessing how children and staff relate with one another.  Just as with families, at Ashfold the quality of relationships is of central importance to the happiness and success of children.  If they look forward to coming to school each morning, if they believe that their teachers really care for them and are interested in helping them to learn, and if they know that at break times wherever they go they will find others who will play with them, then children will gain confidence, learn and make spectacular progress. 

As you would expect from any great school, Ashfold has a challenging and broad curriculum, its children are well mannered, learning is fun and it has great and ever-improving facilities, but it is its atmosphere that makes it the very special place that it is today.  Do please come and see us to find out why we are all so tremendously proud of our school.
