Latest news at Ashmount School......

• Goodbye and Hello!

  Fri 15 Jul 2016 Dave

  As I leave Ashmount school after seven happy years I would like to thank everyone for their support. The list could go on forever but I would like to mention; the governors, parents, staff, Alliance schools and, of course, the children.

   

  I am delighted to be able to leave the leadership of Ashmount in such outstanding hands. Our new Headteacher David Deacon is brilliant and nationally recognised for his work. He will be supported by Deputy Head Abi Steady who was recently recognised by The Leicester Mercury as Inspirational Teacher of the year. New Head of Primary Claire Malpas is also a brilliant teacher and leader. Added to that we have the amazing Helena, Gina and Katie - all Newly Qualified Teachers who we have trained ourselves here in school. Ashmount will go from strength to strength.

• Kids Olympics

  Tue 12 Jul 2016

   

  Primary and Secondary students all took part in the Mini Olympics event last week and had a great time developing skills and competing with their friends. All students were class based and took part in a carousel of sport-based activities for a morning. Thank you to the sports apprentices from Loughborough College and the Limehurst School leaders for setting up the events and running them. Another big thank you to the Ashmount young sports leaders who helped too, they did an amazing job helping the younger students. It was a successful event and feedback from the school council and teachers has been very positive. 

  

• Primary and Secondary School Games Afternoons

  Tue 12 Jul 2016

   

  Thank you to all the family and friends that attended our school sports days. The sun shone beautifully and the children had a great time. They all took part in mixed ability teams, competing in a carousel of fun activities on the Charnwood school field.  The School council reported that the wet and wild and hill skittles activities were the most popular events. After the carousel, the children took part in competitive races. The relay race and wheelchair user’s race were particular highlights. Thanks to the teachers for the all their hard work and for the student volunteers and young leaders who assisted with the event and provided drinks for the parents and friends. A parent stated ‘The Ashmount team make inclusivity look so easy!’ Thank you for all the positive feedback.
