Communication with Parents

We place great importance on the relationship between home and school and we encourage our parents to be involved in the educational experience of their children wherever possible. Our doors are always open and pupils are genuinely proud to show off their work, whether in the classroom or on displays.

Our teachers are always available at drop-off times if a short conversation is all that is required to answer a simple question. Should a longer meeting be needed, then an appointment can be made either through the individual teacher concerned or through the Junior School secretary.

Written reports on each child’s progress are produced at the end of the Christmas and Summer Terms. There are also two parents’ evenings, one in November and the other in March.

The Headmaster produces a weekly newsletter which is sent electronically to all parents on a Friday. Information on trips and extra-curricular activities is circulated by the office well in advance of proposed events. Teams for sporting fixtures are posted on the notice boards in the Junior School entrance foyer. Should you require any additional information about trips, fixtures or events, then please contact Mrs Perring in the office.

Parents are warmly invited to attend any school event in which their child is participating: choir recitals, class assemblies, concerts, drama productions, sports fixtures. Post-fixture refreshments are served in the Dining Room.

There is also a flourishing parental association, The Friends of Ashville, which organises a variety of social functions during the year. These include a Bonfire Night, a Black Tie Ball and the Summer Fayre.
