About Ashgate Primary School

Ashgate Primary School is a truly outward-looking setting, committed to raising standards and providing excellence in pastoral care for our unique community. We are situated on the outskirts of the City of Derby, within close proximity to the University of Derby and the A38. Our school community is characterised by its vibrant diversity and mobility; we take great pride in our ability to welcome and integrate families from a wide range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. We view our often transitional pupil population not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to demonstrate our agility and commitment to rapid, high-quality inclusion.
The School Leadership Team and governors work diligently to ensure that staff are equipped with the resources and expertise required to meet the high standards expected. A culture of clear guidance, mutual support, and the celebration of achievement underpins the positive working environment evident across the school.
We pride ourselves on the principle that every decision is made with the child at its heart. We are dedicated to securing the best possible outcomes for all pupils, ensuring that background or circumstance is never a barrier to aspiration. As a result, the school is highly regarded within the local community, with our 2023 Ofsted inspection confirming the school to be 'Good' in all aspects of its provision.

Our most recent 2023 Ofsted inspection confirmed the high quality of our provision, noting that:
• "Pupils are proud to attend this school. They feel safe and happy."
• "The school’s values of ‘aspiration, self-belief, heart, generosity, achievement, teamwork and enjoyment’ shine through."
• "Teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve."

The provision for SEND was identified as a key strength as was the capacity of the school to meet the needs of its diverse local community.
