Full time and part time places are available using funded hours and additional hours can be paid for. Wraparound care is also available from 7:30pm – 5:45pm.

Like all households, we as a school are concerned about rising energy and food costs. Our energy bills are set to rise by 200% without any additional funding being given to us. There is lots of media speculation about schools having to move to a 3 or 4 day week in order to keep afloat. This is not something we are considering. However, cuts do need to be made and we are starting with closing our annex building. Mrs Walters and Mrs Blake will be moving into the main building next to year 6.

Each year, the Governor Body product an annual report outlining how it has fulfilled its responsibilities and met its core strategic functions. Their report can be found on the school website: https://www.ashbourneprimary.co.uk/governors/

Our school was visited by Ofsted in January 2022 and graded a GOOD school. The full report can be read under ‘Ofsted reports’

School will be closed tomorrow 29.11.21 due to the heavy snow and icy conditions.

We are increasingly concerned at the number of children in both infants and juniors who have been talking about the games from Squid Game, a popular Netflix show that is highly inappropriate for primary age children due to the high levels of violence portrayed. Please be aware that children are accessing scenes from Squid Games via places such as TikTok, Roblox, You Tube and Minecraft.

 

It is important that we work together to keep our children safe. Please monitor your child’s online activity as you may be unaware that they are watching this content.

 

Next week is online safety week in school.
