Headteacher’s Welcome

Ashlands is a community school in the heart of Ilkley and has been serving families for more than 70 years. We are in an enviable position – at the foot of the beautiful Ilkley Moor, overlooked by the world famous Cow and Calf rocks. We focus our provision on the education of the whole child: academic, spiritual, emotional, cultural and physical. It is essential that each child develops a strong work ethic, learning to challenge themselves to be the very best version of themselves. Our dedicated staff teach with determination and enthusiasm, through an increasingly rich, colourful and varied curriculum. 

Values and Ethos

Ashlands Primary School ‘Where every child has the right to shine’.

At Ashlands we aim is for every child to strive to reach their potential in whatever area they flourish in and to feel safe and be nurtured to achieve their best.

Ashlands will provide every child with opportunities to develop knowledge, skills and understanding to make their way and contribute to our society.

Admissions

Moorlands Learning Trust (MLT) is responsible for the admission of children into Ashlands Primary School. Whilst we are happy to help with any queries, those specific to the admission process should be directed to Bradford Council who operate on behalf of MLT.

Ashlands Nursery

Starting nursery is a milestone for both parents and children and we want to make sure that these first steps away from home are happy for you both. Parents are the first and most important teachers and we will work with you to ensure that your child’s first experience of school is a positive one. Ashlands Nursery admits children from age 3 and is part of our ‘Little Acorns Early Years Unit’. This provides a seamless transition for children into our friendly, inclusive school.
