Welcome to Ash Green!

Welcome to our fantastic, redesigned website which we hope you find both useful and interesting. The information contained within it is constantly updated so please visit us again. You can also find the latest on curriculum developments and the most up to date Newsletters and Tweets!

At Ash Green Community Primary School we are here to serve our pupils, their families and the community. We make our school a centre of learning excellence for all. There is driving determination to ensure that pupils and adults in the school reach their full potential. Children get one chance with their education and at Ash Green we want this to be the best. This is why we offer childcare facilities every morning and evening, an on-site Children's Centre, and Family Support Services that have been recognised nationally and evening activities for youngsters in Mixenden. Ofsted (November 2018) rightly identified, ‘the school is at the heart of the community.’ In these times recovering from the Covid pandemic, the awful fire that destroyed much of our Upper Site and within the current Cost of Living crisis this has been more important than ever. If anybody ever needs any support with ANY issue, please call us on 01422 244613. 

Ash Green regularly models outstanding practice in teaching and learning and between 2013 and 2018, we were honoured to be named a National Support School. I was also privileged to be named a National Leader of Education. We are part of the Teaching School Alliance led by Trinity Academy and we are proud of the work we do helping to support schools in Calderdale and beyond. Our latest Ofsted inspection (November 2018) confirms that Ash Green is a GOOD school. There are so many positives in the report and our wonderful children attract huge praise: ‘Pupils thrive at Ash Green. They enjoy their learning, display positive attitudes and value their education.’

You can contact me to arrange a visit, leave a comment on the website, or register your views of the school through 'Parent View' - a part of Ofsted's website. You can view Ofsted's School inspections: a guide for parents by clicking on the 'Key Info' menu and the Ofsted link. You can access and download our prospectus, admissions information and all of the school's curriculum policies and schemes of work via the 'Key Info' tab at the top of the page. We very much want you to feel a part of our school community! This school year promises to be a momentous one: despite the traumas of the last three years we saw incredible progress and attainment from our Year 6 cohort leaving in 2023 and I am sure this year's wonderful cohort will also excel. The key issue for us all this year will be the exciting rebuild of our Upper Site which has now begun! Look out for updates and photos as the work continues!!
