We coordinate curriculum swimming for several local primary schools (20 in 2023/24) supporting hundreds (800 in 2023/24) of students through their national curriculum levels.

Our Adult and Child lessons are specifically designed for babies through to children aged 3 and follow the Swim England Discovery Suckling Framework.

Early evening and weekend small group lessons support over 1000 swimmers every week

Weekly adult swimming lessons support all levels of ability from beginners through to athletes in training.

Ashford School, Wye School and Chilmington Green CCF is a joint section. It is open to all Year 8-13 students and gives pupils opportunities outside of their comfort zones but in a professional and safe environment. Being a member the CCF will give cadets many opportunities to try new skills, life skills ranging from gliding to receiving an Emergency First Aid at Work certificate.

FareShare Kent and the Ashford Family Foodbank

In 2023 Year 12 pupils led the harvest donation campaign which you can read about here.

This Year, prefects Emily & Vanessa, inspired by their time volunteering in the FareShare warehouse, have, alongside their peers taken part in a food glean on a local farm, made a short documentary film, and presented to the school about the continued need for support.
