“We have been parents of children at Ashtonfield Primary School for almost 10 years and during this time we have found all staff and teachers to be supportive, kind and engaged in our children’s learning. When raising concerns with the teachers or leadership team, I have found the staff to be responsive and focussed on the welfare and wellbeing of the students”.
