I am incredibly grateful for having had such a positive and enriching experience at Ashton House. I genuinely believe that the values instilled in me during my formative years and the strong foundation I had enabled me to achieve success throughout my education and also in my career as a solicitor and Partner in a city law firm.

Ashton House taught me resilience and determination, but I also learnt what it meant to be part of a community and the importance of building and maintaining relationships. I am still in touch with many people from the school over 20 years later including one of my closest friends.

In recent years, I have also been fortunate enough to experience the school as a parent and I firmly believe Ashton House has retained exactly what made it so special during my time – top quality education combined with a strong community ethos and care which makes children feel that they are in a home away from home.

It’s a real pleasure seeing my children flourish both academically and socially in such a nurturing environment, at the same school where I myself spent many happy years.

Having spent my formative years at Ashton House in the 1980s, there was only one school to which I was going to send my children, to ensure that they were given the same early privileges that I was fortunate enough to receive.

Ashton House School provides the perfect blend of education with the establishment of good human values, etiquette and manners, in a caring and comforting environment where my children can excel both academically and emotionally. A strong, friendly, caring and compassionate teaching / leadership team gives me the confidence that my children will develop well, in a nurturing, protective, but expressive environment. All members of staff are only a phone call or email away and always available to meet and assist if there are any issues. A strong, long standing network of parents who are heavily involved in the PTA also gives added reassurances.

In my opinion, the early years of a child’s life are the most crucial. As its inspection report will convey, AHS is a systemically well run school with family values at its core. I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Turner and his staff and I very much look forward to the journey ahead.

I have very fond memories of my time at Ashton House School. It was a place where I felt supported and encouraged and it has provided me with a strong, work ethic that has stayed with me throughout my academic journey, including my time at dental school.

Now, as a parent with a child at the school, it is incredibly rewarding to see the same nurturing environment helping him grow in confidence, both socially and academically. Ashton House continues to be a place that bring out the best in its pupils and I am grateful for the positive influence it has had on our whole family.

I went to Ashton House School between 1992 and 2000. Ashton House School gave me a great start in life. Not only was the quality of education to such a high standard that I was very well prepared for secondary school, it was also a fun and nurturing place to learn. There were so many opportunities at Ashton House School to excel in extra-curricular activities whether it was music, sport, drama, art and much more. Ashton House School gave me such a well rounded schooling that I have cherished. I have such fond memories of my time there.
