Ashtree Primary Academy

We wanted to remind our families of our school values, which were introduced last year! 🤩 Ashtree pupils have the knowledge, respect and aspirations to allow them the freedom to live a meaningful life 🤗 We are courageous, we care for everyone and we are curious to learn 🤩

⭐We celebrated 112 pupil personal achievements last academic year and we know there will be plenty more to come! ⭐ Email [email protected] with your child's achievement for it to feature in one of our newsletters and on our social media! #ashtreecare

During our 1st year of Forest School sessions will be delivered by Down the Woods, a highly regarded local organisation based in Hitchin! 🌳 Alongside this, our staff will complete nationally recognised training, learning directly from experts and supporting sessions in school!
