Ashmount School has been awarded Gold in the School Games Mark for our commitment to and development of competition, school sport and physical education during 2015/16.

Music Subject Leader Matthew Green and Headteacher David Deacon were presented with the award at an awards ceremony at College Court in Leicester on Friday 27th January 2017.
