Ashlands is a community school in the heart of Ilkley and has been serving families for more than 70 years.
In September 2023 we joined the Moorlands Learning Trust Academy
Our school vision is that ‘Every Child has the Right to Shine’ which encourages us to be ambitious for each and every learner in our care.
We focus our provision on the education of the whole child: academically, spiritually, emotionally, culturally, and physically. It is essential that each child develops a strong work ethic, learning to challenge themselves to be the very best version of themselves. Our dedicated staff teach with determination and enthusiasm, through an increasingly rich, colourful, and varied curriculum.
Each child is special and unique, their needs are addressed and tracked through our rigorous ongoing assessment procedures. When and where necessary we put in place individual learning programmes and ensure that outside agencies support the school and family.
This is just a snapshot of what we do and who we are. Do browse through our website and feel free to come and see us at work. We are proud to be accountable for what we do. The best indicators of the performance of Ashlands are the children and the skills, abilities and outcomes they develop during their time here.
At Ashlands School we all take great pride in our achievement and we take great care of each other and our environment.
