Our Key Stage 5 staff and students would like to say a huge thank you to parents, carers, staff and students for donating to Comic Relief.
Together the Ashmount School family raised a fantastic £229.70 to support Comic Relief projects.
Ashmount School has once again been named as one of three finalists in the Charnwood Sports Awards.
The school received one of the runners-up awards in the Let's Get Moving category at this year's ceremony.
The award recognises schools that have achieved and can demonstrate increasing participation in sport and physical activity, creating opportunities for all across the school to be active.
Thank you to all those who were able to support our Key Stage 5 students with their annual fundraising for the BBC Children in Need Appeal.
It was great to see so many of our children, young people and adults across school in fancy dress for the day.
Your generosity in donating money, cakes for our stall, loose change for Pudsey and donations via the new ParentPay link all added up to a huge £460.55.
As part of their Careers and work-related learning curriculum, Key Stage 5 (Sixth Form) students have been taking part in a Christmas Enterprise module. They have researched products, resourced materials and made a selection of items to sell with the purpose of learning new skills and making a profit. Students then decided as a class group, how they would like to use the money raised - buying items to benefit themselves and their peers in school. A big thank you to all who have bought items to ensure their enterprises were a great success!
This year’s Summer Fayre was another roaring success for Friends of Ashmount, raising over £2700 for the school.
The sun shone, and there was a great turnout. As well as the ever-popular tombola and sweet stalls, visitors had chance to try out the new nine-hole golf course. Traffic officers were also on hand to give visitors of all ages an insight into the work they do.
Friends of Ashmount would like to thank everyone who supported the event. All proceeds will be used to support continuing enrichment projects for Ashmount students.
Congratulations to two members of our staff who recently completed a fundraising fire walk for charity.

The Peter Le Marchant Trust were so impressed with the Key Stage 5 students who worked with them last Autumn that they invited another group to take part in ’Unbox Your Future’ - an exciting programme which offers work experience opportunities for young people with SEND.
Students learnt how to steer a canal boat, operate a lock, and host volunteers and peers with drinks and snacks whilst travelling.
