We had a wonderful time celebrating the Harvest Festival with our Prep pupils, families and friends. It was lovely to welcome so many members of the Ashville community to share this special occasion with us.

Our service, led by the Chaplain, included beautiful singing from two school choirs, thoughtful prayers led by Chaplaincy Prefect Jack and our Head Prefects Milo, Alice, Hugo and Jessica, and plenty of enthusiastic singing from everyone. We finished the service with the joyful Harvest Samba, which was a wonderful way to round off our celebration!

We were delighted to welcome Dawn and Stuart from Harrogate and District Foodbank, who were extremely grateful for the generous donations of food from our families. The huge amount collected will help support local people in need. We are very proud of the kindness and generosity shown by our school community. Thank you so much.

As part of Outdoor Learning, pupils in Prep 2 worked together as a class team to recreate Vincent van Gogh’s Wheat Field with Cypresses.

The children showed fantastic teamwork, creativity and enthusiasm as they brought this famous artwork to life outdoors. It was wonderful to see their ideas come together to create such a fantastic collaborative piece!

Congratulations to our U11 Girls, who reached the HMC Hockey Tournament Final!

The team produced some excellent hockey, showing incredible teamwork, determination and resilience throughout the tournament. The girls were unbeaten in the group stages, with wins against Queen Elizabeth’s, GSAL, Barnard Castle and Yarm, plus a hard-fought draw against RGS Newcastle.

A dramatic semi-final against Dame Allan’s was decided by shuffles, with Ashville keeping their nerve to secure a place in the final.

The girls battled brilliantly in the final, eventually going down 1–0 to a strong Pocklington side.

To reach the final after such a competitive day of hockey, alongside some of the best independent school teams in their age group, was a fantastic achievement. The girls should be incredibly proud of their performance!

We are delighted to introduce Ashville Prep Pony Club, an exciting new co-curricular opportunity for pupils who are beginners or have little experience with horses and ponies.

Led by Mrs Styles, who has over 25 years’ experience with horses, the club combines sessions at school with practical visits to Follifoot Riding Centre. Children will learn about pony care, grooming, safe handling, stable management and equipment, as well as having the opportunity to ride.

The programme will follow British Horse Society (BHS) accredited learning, and each child will receive an activity book to record their progress.

Today, our Senior School celebrated the richness and diversity of European languages with a fantastic multilingual karaoke session. Pupils enjoyed singing along in Spanish, French, Italian and more, showcasing the joy of learning and communicating in different languages.

With a wide range of languages available at Ashville, there are plenty of opportunities for pupils to discover new cultures and develop their language skills.

The children in Acorns Early Years and Prep School have thrown themselves into school life with enthusiasm and energy. It has been a purposeful start to term, with a wonderful sense of community across the school.

As we welcomed the children back after the summer break, it has been lovely to see them settling in so well, embracing their learning, exploring their classrooms, discovering new resources and making new friends. They have also begun enjoying the exciting variety of co-curricular clubs, making the most of the many opportunities available to them beyond the classroom.

We are delighted to see such confidence, curiosity and enthusiasm already shining through, and we look forward to all that the term ahead will bring!

Loads of fun, plenty of action and a superb environment created for collaboration and teamwork with teams consisting of various ages and genders. Such an inclusive sport and one that has a future at Ashville.
