Aims and ethos
At Ashbrooke School, we are committed to giving our pupils a creative, caring and innovative learning environment for them to achieve their full potential in their education and social communication.
With our focus on the three areas of respect, responsibility and resilience, we aim to develop a sense of community where children, young people and adults respect and support one another to create an environment that allows everyone to flourish. Pupils are encouraged to share their views and take responsibility for their actions, and staff are keen to listen and adapt to support them in their social development. Everyone is helped to understand their role and their impact on others and encouraged to contribute to the collective improvements we want to make every day.
