"Excellent School with a Caring Community"

I'm so grateful to have my child at Ashley Academy. The school's values of Aspire and Achieve, Resilient and Proud really shine through in everything they do. My child loves the newly developed outdoor area and the caring staff have made them feel so supported. I couldn't recommend this school more!

"A Good School, Room for Improvement"

We had a generally positive experience at Ashley Academy, but I did feel that the communication between parents and teachers could be better. The nursery facilities were excellent and the staff were supportive, but there were a few instances where we felt that our concerns weren't listened to. Overall, a good school that's improving, but could do more.
