It is my pleasure to welcome you to Ashgate Primary School.

Our website is designed to provide parents, carers, pupils, governors and visitors with up-to-date information about our school, our values, and the many exciting opportunities available to our children. We hope you find it informative and helpful as you learn more about life at Ashgate.

A Place Where Every Child Belongs

At Ashgate Primary School, we are proud to be a vibrant, inclusive and nurturing community where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to achieve their very best. We celebrate the rich diversity of our school family and recognise that every child brings unique strengths, experiences and talents to our community.

We welcome children and families from all backgrounds, cultures and faiths, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone feels respected, represented and included. By working closely with our families and the wider community, we create a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.

Our School

Ashgate Primary School serves the Ashbourne Road area of Derby and provides education for children aged 4 to 11 years. We are committed to delivering a rich, engaging and ambitious curriculum that inspires curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love of learning.

Our dedicated staff use a wide range of teaching approaches and high-quality resources to ensure that learning is both enjoyable and challenging. We believe that every child can succeed, and we work hard to meet individual needs, providing additional support where required so that all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Children are at the heart of every decision we make. Alongside academic achievement, we place great importance on wellbeing, personal development and helping children to become confident, caring and responsible members of society.

Unlocking Potential

At Ashgate, we believe that education is about much more than results. We are passionate about nurturing the whole child and recognising success in all its forms, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, through creative arts, or in the way children demonstrate kindness, resilience and respect for others.

Through strong partnerships with families, our dedicated staff team and our supportive governing body, we work together to unlock the potential within every child and prepare them for life in modern Britain and an ever-changing world.

We Look Forward to Welcoming You
