Motivational Teaching

Our staff is of high calibre and this is reflected in the standard of teaching. We succeed in attracting high achievers, from those newly recruited to the profession to those with many years experience. Teachers are responsive to the variety of learning styles found amongst the pupils.

Throughout the school the teaching reflects the fact that effective learning is enjoyable. Effective learning encourages innovation and excitement but also allows time for reflection. Independent and collaborative learning are both valued and encouraged.

A Rich and Challenging Curriculum

We encourage flair, imagination and creativity in all our pupils. We provide pupils with a balanced and broadly based curriculum that promotes their spiritual, moral, mental, cultural and physical development.

The curriculum prepares pupils to thrive in a technology orientated world and to develop an enterprising attitude. It is designed to ensure every student has the skills to enable him or her to be successful in life and work. 

Our Aim

Ashford School and Ashford Friars Prep School promote self-reliance, responsibility, compassion and boldness. We foster a sense of teamwork, the intellectual freedom to be creative, the confidence and enterprise to initiate and the resilience to cope with adversity.

The School is a diverse community where individuality is valued. We encourage intellectual curiosity and aim to help each girl and boy to develop independence of mind and spirit.
