If so, we want to hear from you!
We are looking to appoint a Headteacher who has the drive, passion and leadership experience to guide the school through its next challenging, but exciting, phase.
Ashby School is a successful Academy with a large sixth form, a history spanning 453 years and a strong relationship with the local community.

Work is about to begin on the building of a new £1 million faculty to accommodate our English Department.
We are already looking ahead to the next stage in our development to ensure that the site is ready to welcome KS3 students in 2022.
