This week, our Prep School theme is all about keeping ourselves safe; at home, in school, or when we go out with friends. We can't wait for a visit from the @NorthYorksFire on Thursday to talk to us about the importance of fire safety. #Ashvilleprep_learning

A year since #Outdoorlearning was integrated into our Prep School curriculum, we can reflect on the personal development of our pupils, from the youngest in Reception, to the eldest in Year 6. All pupils have enriched their skills in communication, problem solving and team work.

In September, we look forward to welcoming Mr Philip Soutar, our new Head of Prep. Mr Soutar has specialised in independent preparatory education throughout his career and is currently National Chair of the Independent Schools’ Association. Read more👇 tinyurl.com/5z7jk742
