Welcome
A warm welcome from the Interim Head of School,
Jonathan East
Located in Chelsea, West London, Ashburnham is a happy, friendly school where children achieve academic excellence. I am immensely proud to be the Interim Head of School, working with a talented and committed team of leaders, teachers and support staff. We are one of four schools in the Fox Federation. The other schools are Fox Primary, Avondale Primary, Avonmore Primary and St Anne’s nursery. Ofsted has praised all the school’s curriculum, robust safeguarding procedures, behaviour, teaching and learning and commented on the strong sense of community in each school.
The Fox Federation is unique in that it ensures each school retains its individual identity but at the same time has unique benefits of working together to make each stronger than if on its own.
Benefits of Fox Federation:
Ashburnham is a one form entry school, with up to thirty children in each year group. We have an on-site nursery for 3 and 4 year olds. Our Nursery is completely self-contained, but being located just across the playground, the children benefit from joining in with older children including at lunch time eating and playing with the reception children and doing PE in the main playground and hall. Both our reception and nursery children have the opportunity to learn in their own indoor and outdoor classrooms which have to be seen to be believed. Please click to see our ‘admissions’ page which has more information on our Nursery and Reception classes – the most common admission year groups.
We offer a modern, spacious, well-resourced learning environment for all children which supports children’s development. When walking around the school, visitors always comment on how purposeful, calm and nurturing the atmosphere is. We are also lucky enough to have the largest playground in the borough, fully equipped with a huge climbing frame, a tree house, a reading shed and two sports pitches, so there is plenty of space for children to play and socialise during break times.
Our school embodies strong values which underpin all we do. Five of these values: curiosity, collaboration, kindness, inclusion and respect are shared across the federation and the sixth is chosen each year as a result of a whole school vote organised by our pupil council.
We have high expectations of all our children, both academically and socially and aim for all children to meet these expectations through our engaging, exciting curriculum, which is complimented by a rich program of enriching experiences, community events, trips, workshops and clubs. We are passionate about ensuring that all children leave Ashburnham as well-rounded, confident and articulate young people, having achieved excellent results and who are fully prepared to succeed in their next stage of education.
We are proud of the diverse community that we serve and as a school welcome any opportunity to work with our parents and carers to provide the best opportunities for all of our children. We work with a number of external organisations, including All Child, which allows us to meet the needs of all of our pupils and work towards developing a lifelong love of learning so they can achieve their absolute potential.
I hold school tours throughout the year and I would very much welcome the opportunity to meet you and show you around our lovely school in person.
