Culture at the heart of learning

Welcome to Ashby School

Ashby school is an inclusive 11-18 provision that sits in the heart of our local community and prides ourself on putting students at the heart of all we do.

Our ethos statements echo this, encouraging our students to be ‘Empowered to Learn’ and to believe that ‘Anything is Possible’ through hard work and commitment. Through this ethos, we combine academic aspiration and the opportunities for our students to embrace our core values; to Show Respect, Accept Responsibility and Build Resilience to prepare them for a successful future. We want all our students to have a happy and successful learning experience and the confidence and qualifications to step into successful futures.

We hope our website tells you a little more about the work we do and that, when we work together, at Ashby School, ‘Anything is Possible’.

Year 7 Girls Football Semi-final – The girls played against Robert Smyth Academy. It was a long afternoon, leaving school at 12.30 and returning to school at 5pm due to minibus travel time. 12 players were taken and all the girls got pitch time. They adapted well to playing out of their normal position for the benefit of the team and game. At half time, the score was still 0-0 and both teams were battling hard. 3 minutes into the second half Keira scored with her powerful left foot, shortly after, Robert S equalized and that’s how the 50min game ended 1-1.  The game went straight into penalties, with whoever was on the pitch, eligible to take a penalty. Harriet did an awesome job in goal demonstrating true grit and resilience to face something she hasn’t before, and all of the outfield players supported her well. It was tense, but the girls crowded round each other, and 6 girls nominated themselves to take a penalty.  Unfortunately, Robert Smyth beat us on penalties to go through to the final. It was a devastating way to end an undefeated run, as the game was neck and neck and had to be decided in this tough manner, but the teams were very evenly matched in the game and this was unfortunately the only option to find a winning team.  A massive shout out to all the girls who were dedicated and displayed teamwork throughout this season, we will be back next academic year and look forward to training with other year groups again.  #AshbySchool #GirlsFootball #BuildResilience
