• World Thinking Day

  Fri 24 Feb 2023

  On February 22nd, Guides, Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Brownies and Rainbows, both young and old, celebrated World Thinking Day. Chosen because it is the birthday of the founder Robert Baden-Powell and his wife Olave, World Thinking Day is a day of international friendship, speaking out on issues that affect young people today and fundraising to support the millions of members around the world. In line with Guiding tradition, and in recognition of this special day, many of our children and staff who are involved in these organisations, proudly wore their uniforms to school for the day.

• A special delivery made to Buckingham Palace

  Sun 11 Sep 2022 Cheryl Thompson

  In light of the sad news received on Thursday evening, Ashmead pupils chose to spend some time on Friday designing a card or message for the Royal Family.

   

  On Friday evening, Mrs Thompson made a special delivery to the gates of Buckingham Palace to deliver all of these. Although there were a wealth of flowers already there, we were the first to bulk deliver messages from a school (near enough 500 cards or messages). Therefore, we were allowed through a barrier, to the front of the Palace, where we we met with a huge round of applause from the crowd!

   

  It was a very emotional visit but one of significant importance. A wonderful, courteous and kind Queen; she demonstrated exemplary dedication and was dutiful to the very end. 

   

  Sometimes, young children know just the right words to use at such a difficult time.

  

• Huge thanks to Hartwell Garden Centre for kindly donating this beautiful tree to Ashmead Combined School. It was planted by The Gardening Club as part of The Queens Green Canopy to mark Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee.
