For families with children of Reception Class age, Miss Bird, our Reception Class Teacher, will also be on hand to meet with families as part of their visit, and explain how we give children the best start in life at Ashville.
Mr Asa Firth, Head of Ashville Prep School, says: “Our bespoke curriculum enthuses, engages and challenges young and inquiring minds, while also promoting high levels of attainment and outstanding academic progress. We believe learning should be enhanced through a multitude of inspirational opportunities outside the classroom, such as day trips, residential visits, acts of services, and Outdoor Learning, which is woven into the curriculum each week for pupils from Reception to Year 6.”
