Welcome to Ashdon Primary School

 

​Ashdon Primary School sits at the heart of our thriving Essex village, less than four miles from both Saffron Walden and Linton. We provide education from Reception to Year 6 across four small, nurturing classes, welcoming children from Essex, Cambridgeshire, and Suffolk.

​

At Ashdon, everything we do is guided by our three core values: Challenge, Care, and Celebrate.

​

Challenge

We provide a rich, ambitious curriculum driven by four key priorities:

• Exposure, Opportunities and Aspirations – broadening horizons and igniting curiosity through diverse experiences

• Reading and Oracy – developing strong communication and comprehension skills across all learning

• Physical Development – building confident movement, co-ordination, and early writing foundations

• Resilience and Respect – fostering the characteristics of effective learning

Our pupils experience engaging mixed-age learning, regular sports competitions, rich cultural opportunities, and strong community partnerships.

Care

With just 58 pupils, every child is truly known and valued. We deliver our curriculum with:

• Personalised teaching tailored to each child's needs

• Nurturing relationships between staff, pupils, and families

• A supportive family atmosphere where older children mentor younger ones

• Wraparound care through breakfast and after-school clubs for working families

​

Celebrate

We recognise and honour every step of progress our children make:

• Individual achievements acknowledged and shared

• Progress from starting points tracked and celebrated

• Personal growth in learning, character, and confidence

• Success in all its forms, not just outcomes
