Kindness | Respect | Responsibility | Integrity
We are a small primary school in the village of Great Asby, near Appleby-in-Westmorland in Cumbria.
Our small class sizes allow us to cater learning to the individual and foster a warm and friendly learning environment that allows everyone to enjoy success!
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school's new website and I hope that as you browse the site you get a sense of how special our small school community is and what we do to realise the gifts and talents of every child at Asby.
From excelling within our school, learning goes beyond the classroom.
Through real-life experiences and our local community, we inspire children to explore, grow, and build respectful relationships with others and the environment.
This develops their knowledge and confidence to excel in the wider world.
Kindness: this value is at the heart of everything we do as a community to ensure that every child, every parent and every member of staff feels safe, valued and cherished.
Respect: this begins with recognising the value and dignity of every person, every voice and the world around us. Respect is not simply about good manners; it is about choosing to treat others, ourselves and our surroundings with care because we understand their worth.
Responsibility: we believe that responsibility for children’s growth and success is shared by the school, pupils’ families and the children themselves. This shared responsibility extends to taking care of our school, our village, the community, the environment and its future.
Integrity: we believe that integrity is found in every promise kept, every person valued, every honest word and action, and every right thing being done without being watched.
We are proud to offer flexi-schooling to parents who feel their child would benefit from a blend of home learning and a school setting. Our core days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Do contact the school to find out more or click below to view our Flexi-Schooling Policy.
Our amazing PTA (parent-teacher association) - the Friends of Asby School - subsidise the cost of many of our activities beyond school and development projects (such as creating our new Calm Room in Class 1).
Our parents benefit by lower costs for trips and events, and pupils benefit with individual provision including their own outdoor gear!
