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’.
Dr Jude Mellor

REMINDER: Year 9 Work Experience – Take Your Child to Work Day - Thursday 11th June 2026 
As part of our careers programme development in school, we require your support so all our Year 9 students can take part in the ‘Take Your Child to Work Day’ initiative. This will involve your child spending the day with you (could also be another family member or family friend) at work. 
This is an exciting opportunity with the aim of allowing all Year 9 students to gain a one-day experience of the workplace on Thursday 11th June 2026. 
Experiences of the workplace is a vital part of Careers Education. It allows our young people to: 
· Explore potential career paths 
· Gain first-hand insight into the workplace 
· Develop confidence, communication skills, and independence 
This is one of the most impactful career-related opportunities your child will have during their school life, so your support is paramount.
