• Ashmount praised in Ofsted annual report

  Wed 10 Dec 2014 Dave

  On 10th December Ofsted published its annual reports on education in Britain. In the East Midlands regional report Ashmount are highlighted as a case study of effective use of pupil premium to improve attainment for pupils following winning the 2014 Pupil Premium Award. The case study says;

  "...Most importantly, the school rigorously tracks each child's progress from the outset, so that if the intervention is not working it can be adapted early to secure success".

  Congratulations all the staff involved in this successful intervention work and particularly deputy head teacher David Deacon.

  Motorline Direct of Shepshed have made their second donation to The Ashmount Appeal. By making a contribution of £5 for all cars sold and by asking customers for contributions of between £1 and £5 the company is raising money for us. In the first quarter of this scheme we were given a cheque for £2,406.20 and in the first week of December we received a second cheque for £2,401.20.

  This money is presently being used to extend the external canopies over the play areas and the builders have been in school in early December to complete this work.

  Details of Motorlines sponsorship can be seen on their website at www.motorlinedirect.co.uk/charities

  Many thanks from all at Ashmount to Motorline Direct for making our lovely new school even better!
