Sneak peek into a door of opportunity – Harrogate school’s invitation to parents of children aged 2 – 11
This article is sponsored by Ashville Prep School and Acorns Early Years.
PARENTS of young children ready for their first steps in their learning adventure are welcome to experience everything one of Yorkshire’s leading schools has to offer.
Harrogate’s Ashville Prep School and Acorns Early Years are preparing to welcome families to the next ‘Open Doors’ event on Wednesday February 7, offering a first-hand glimpse of life inside and outside the vibrant classrooms and impressive facilities.
There will be an opportunity to see its current crop of pupils aged 2 to 11 in action, as well as a chance to speak to teachers and the Senior Leadership Team, both about the curriculum and the school’s learning philosophy.
For families with children aged 2 to 5, a visit to Acorns Early Years is a must. The experienced team, led by Mrs Charlotte Cryer, support the children to build strong foundations to become confident communicators through a variety of fun, purposeful and engaging activities. Mrs Cryer explains
One of Ashville’s key beliefs is that the curriculum is delivered through a variety of engaging and memorable methods and learning is not restricted to only take place at a desk. As part of the Open Morning, families will also see lessons in the dedicated Outdoor Learning area, where Ashville pupils, even those in Acorns Early Years, participate in weekly lessons that incorporate practical activities to support and enhance topics and concepts from the classroom.
Head of Ashville Prep School, Phil Soutar, said:
Specialist subject teachers, an extensive choice of extra-curricular clubs, small class sizes and automatic entry to Year 7 at Ashville Senior School, are just some of the reasons why many families across the Harrogate area have already chosen Ashville Prep School. With limited spaces remaining in some year groups, the Open Morning provides a good opportunity for parents to see for themselves if Ashville would be a great prospect for their children.
Parents interested in attending the Open Doors event can click here to fill out the form and register their interest.
One of the admissions team will then be in touch with further details. More information is also available by emailing admissions@ashville.co.uk
