Welcome to Ashton under Hill First School
I would like to warmly welcome you to Ashton under Hill First School. We are a happy school where pupils and staff work hard together to raise aspirations and build a lifelong love of learning. Our mission is to offer our wonderful children excellent teaching and learning and the very best learning opportunities in and beyond the classroom. ‘Shaping bright futures together’ is our motto and we are passionate about what we offer in our small and friendly school. We are a place where everyone’s individuality is valued and supported, which allows us to equip each child to develop their full potential.
With wellbeing and kindness at the heart of all we do, we have created a learning environment that allows everyone to thrive and make progress. Our ‘can do’ attitude is a very important aspect of who we are. When faced with challenge we say, ‘I can’t do it yet’ which promotes working hard, developing resilience, problem solving and working creatively to build an enthusiasm for learning.
Our beautiful location inspires us to keep in touch with nature and wherever we can, we use the wonderful countryside around the school to support the children’s learning. Staff, Governors and Parents work alongside our community to provide a calm, caring and positive feel. where children are challenged to become confident, independent and curious learners.
Contact the School Office if you would like to look around.

We received an Ofsted inspection in March 2022 and were deemed to be Good. Our full Ofsted report can be accessed here but highlights from it include:
-
Pupils at this school thrive. They feel happy and enjoy school. Parents and Carers say that ‘this is a fabulous school. The staff are so caring and helpful.
- Pupils learn how to be responsible and considerate. For example, Year 5 pupils act as buddies at playtime and take care of children from Nursery. As a result, pupils say they feel safe in school.
- Pupils have many opportunities and experiences beyond the classroom. They speak with pride about the many roles they can take on. This includes being a member of the school council, a house captain or a playground leader. Pupils enjoy their visits to museums and their residential trips.
- The school is a valued part of the community. Parents actively support the school. For example, they volunteer to listen to pupils read in school. Leaders value this support.
