Annual Parental Questionnaire

Please see here the link to our annual questionnaire. We’d be really grateful to hear your thoughts and views:

Annual Parental Questionnaire - CLICK HERE

Schools are immensely busy places so your views are an essential part of helping us ensure that as many voices as possible are heard as we shape the school’s future.
We ask that only one return per family is completed and would reassure you that all returns are treated in the strictest confidence. The deadline for returns is Friday 20th December 2019th. We will summarise the returns, once collated, in a later newsletter.
Your responses really do make a difference. Examples of actions we’ve taken off the back of your feedback include: changing the content and format of our annual questionnaires, running regular family workshops so that parents have an opportunity to come in and work with their child to improving our channels of communication through Facebook and Twitter.

School Uniform Expectations

Here at Ashcombe School we believe that a smart uniform is a very important way of showing the respect we have for ourselves and our school and that we are ready to learn together. Complying with school uniform  is an important part of the behaviour management approaches taken by most schools. Your support in making this happen and setting an example is very important and greatly appreciated.

​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.
