At Ashcombe we like to think of ourselves as a very big family and the quality of any school depends upon the relationships within it.

Amazing Mummies

4KG had so much fun mummifying fish yesterday.
There were 4 fish and we had a competition to mummify them. We got into groups and we all had different parts to do. The fish looked amazing when
we finished them. We learned all about the different processes during mummification.

Meeting the Mayor

Today three of our Y4 pupils had the fantastic opportunity to meet The Mayor in the Mayor's Parlour in Grove Park.
Back in July we took part in Weston Horticultural Society's 'Plant a Wheelbarrow' competition. All entries were judged by members of the society and the top three winning wheelbarrows (of which Ashcombe came 2nd) were displayed at the Weston flower show in Grove Park in August.

Here you can see Lucy, Oscar and Max receiving their awards from the Mayor. The pupils also had the opportunity to look at some of the treasures kept at the Parlour and even try on the ceremonial robe and hat!

The Big Bad Wolf

Year 1 have had an exciting few weeks. After learning ‘The three little pigs story’ the children followed a map around the school to find the characters from the story. Unfortunately, the children could not find the Big Bad Wolf. To help search for him, Year 1 made wanted posters for the wolf and displayed them around the school as well as inventing different ways to safely capture the wolf.

Luckily, Mr Clark was able to catch the Big Bad Wolf and brought him over to see Year 1 where they asked him lots of questions.

Are you eligible for free school meals?

All children in Reception, YR1 and YR2 are entitled to receive the universal infant free school meal, however schools can get extra funding if parents are in receipt of certain benefits, therefore please still try the checker below.

By completing an assessment below you can quickly check whether your child is eligible for free school meals. It takes only a few minutes and you'll get an answer straight away.

If you are eligible you need to print or save the eligibility letter to take to your school.

Please note that both parents may need to check eligibility separately. If you have more than one child checks will need to be made for each individually.

Entitlement runs for one term. You will need to apply every school holiday.

Ofsted Parent View

Parent view is a website created by Ofsted to collate parents & carers views of each school. The online facility means that parents can log on at any time and record their views of the school by answering 12 simple questions. These views can be amended at anytime in the future as parents/carers views change.

Parents/carers can also use the website to read the views of other parents of their child’s school or of other schools in the local area.
