History

The school opened in 1977 and celebrated it's most recent significant anniversary, 25 years, in 2001. To mark the occasion, a number of community based activities took place and a helicopter visited the school to take an aerial photograph of the site - this picture is displayed in the main school corridor.

The Family of Ashurst

The school promotes a strong ethos of inclusion and uses the umbrella term, 'The Family Of Ashurst' to describe it's staff and pupils. The metaphor extends beyond this however, and parents and carers are seens as part of 'The Family', as are former staff and pupils.
