Welcome to our website!
We are a small primary school in the village of 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.
Openness: we welcome pupils and staff of all faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds. We teach our pupils to ask the right questions and speak up.
Compassion: we help others in times of need and think about how our actions affect people around us. We care about and look after the environment and reflect on how we can help our community.
Pride: we care about learning to become a fulfilled citizen. We look after ourselves and others whilst setting ourselves goals to aim for. We also take pride in being part of Team Asby!
Achievement: we aim to create a better future for individuals through our bespoke educational curriculum (in line with the National Curriculum). We offer opportunities to find areas of interest through visits, classroom work and specialist speakers.
Innovation: we encourage growth through outdoor education, to instil an understanding of wellness and sustainability awareness in all aspects of everyday life Our flexi-schooling program allow pupils to have a balance of home and school-based education.
Courage: we promote healthy self-esteem and personal strength through team activities and allowing individual expression, equipping pupils with confidence to make a difference in the wider world.
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!
