About Ashby Willesley Primary School

We are a 2-form entry primary school, located on the outskirts of the popular town of Ashby de la Zouch, overlooking the beautiful Leicestershire countryside. We are the largest primary school in Ashby and pride ourselves on the welcoming ‘family feel’ that it has. This stems from our close family community including staff, pupils and families of our children.

"Mixed Experience"

While we have been pleased with the school's focus on phonics and English, we have experienced some difficulties with the school's management of pupil premium spending and have concerns about the quality of some of the extracurricular activities.
