Normal service is expected to resume by 1pm that day.

A BIG thank you to so many parents for attending our raising achievements

Parent Forum We are seeking additional parents to join our Parent Forum.

The group meet once per term for approximately an hour in the evening to give feedback
on various areas of school life. If you would like to be involved please email Mrs
Thompson on [email protected]

The Portal gives parents access to lots of information about their child and relevant school activities including progress reports, timetable and attendance data. Parents can also see useful revision resources, home learning, school bulletins and much more. Login and setup details were sent home with Year 7 students, but if you did not receive them please email [email protected] and include your name, your child’s name and form. We also run drop-in sessions for parents with queries or problems. The next sessions will be held on the following occasions:

Woods, who will give us a voucher to spend on planting for Ashlyns based on a
percentage of what our parents spend.
