Welcome to Ashington CE Primary School - Come and discover our wonderful school

A very warm welcome to all parents and carers considering Ashington CE Primary School for their child starting school in September 2027.

Starting school is such an exciting milestone for children and their families, and we understand what an important decision choosing the right school can be.

At Ashington CE Primary School, we want every child to feel happy, valued, safe and excited to learn. We provide a nurturing and inclusive environment where children are encouraged to discover their interests, develop their confidence and achieve their very best.

Set in a beautiful village location, our school offers children the opportunity to learn both inside and outside the classroom. Our extensive grounds are an important part of school life, providing wonderful spaces for children to explore, investigate and develop their curiosity.

Learning with curiosity

We believe that children learn best when they are engaged, curious and excited about the world around them. Our curriculum encourages children to ask questions, explore ideas, solve problems and develop a genuine love of learning.

We have high expectations for every child, while recognising that every child is unique. Our dedicated and caring staff get to know each child as an individual and provide the encouragement, support and challenge they need to flourish.
