Ashmead Primary School is a successful and popular school in Deptford, Lewisham. Our core values – kindness, integrity and perseverance – sit behind everything we do. Our vision - Through excellent teaching and care children know they are both loveable and capable – was developed from these values. Visitors, staff and children tell us that our vision is palpable through the school, from classroom to corridor to lunch hall to playground.
Our values-based behaviour approach is ‘warm and strict’ – we emphasise the importance of positive relationships with children alongside directly teaching what our behaviour expectations look like so there is clarity over these. The result is that children can be themselves in inclusive classrooms that are calm, focused places of learning where children feel safe, secure and happy.
As our vision makes clear we value both academic achievement and the importance of children having strong well-being and the opportunity to be creative.
We have recently completed our expansion from one to two forms of entry and we have a Nursery on site. Our playground is a rarity in London, full of trees and with an extensive forest school. Our school community is supportive and we have a very active PTA. Our school is well resourced with classroom-sized spaces for the teaching of music and art/DT.
We have a committed, skilful and professional staff team. Supporting staff with good quality professional development, rooted in evidence, is a priority for us.
