We have incredible students at Ash Green and are passionate about providing them with the best possible education; placing them at the heart of everything we do. Our students are well behaved, happy, engaging, inquisitive and are very proud to be Ash Green Students; equally impressive are our staff who work tirelessly to achieve our excellent results and to help each student truly achieve their best. We are extremely proud to have such wonderful colleagues and grateful for the life chances they are giving our young people.

We are very proud to be part of the Creative Education Trust (CET). As a CET Academy, we are constantly challenged to do better by our students and are supported in our ambitions by highly successful professionals who really understand what it takes to succeed in the world of education, design, commerce and crucially for this role STEM.

We see the investment in our staff as crucial as we look to build on previous successes for our students and the school. The successful candidate will be given fantastic career progression opportunities and continued investment from a caring senior management team who are keen to support staff to develop both personally and professionally.
 

Ash Green is a Good School with Outstanding leadership (Ofsted April 2013). In 2016 the Department for Education placed Ash Green in the top 16% of schools in England. Our Progress 8 score of +0.38 also place us in the top 5 highest performing schools in Coventry and Warwickshire.

As a comprehensive school, we value all members of our community as individual people with differing needs and abilities. We work to provide a stimulating and caring environment, in which everybody can do their best.

Our status as a Creative Education Academy plays a very significant part in our day-to-day experiences. Creativity lies at the heart of all that we do.

We are a forward looking, outward facing school and we are not afraid to innovate in order to achieve our main aim - for all our students to be the best they can be. We are establishing a strong foundation for delivering excellence and welcome applications from individuals willing to roll their sleeves up and join in.  Expectations are set very high but the rewards are great.

The journey to outstanding

The school provides a well equipped learning environment.

There is a collaborative, positive and purposeful atmosphere amongst the team of staff at the school. All Staff expect each other to be the best that they can be. Our internal CPD programme is of a very high standard and meets a range of needs from newly qualified staff to established Curriculum leaders seeking whole school responsibility.

Ash Green has also embarked on a significant curriculum journey with a new Key Stage Four design that will deliver increasingly flexible routes for student learning. Our KS3 course is for two years, allowing 3 years fir KS4 courses.

We successfully fought for and opened a Sixth Form in September 2012.  It has delivered excellent initial results.  The students have already begun to demonstrate a visible ‘halo’ effect around the school.  Their curriculum contains a careful blend of academic and vocational courses that builds upon their KS4 experience.  We aim to develop and build this in the future.

Student Learning

We believe in offering a broad-based education at Key Stage 3. At Key Stage 4, students begin to specialise as they to prepare for education and training post-16. We are also preparing students for lifelong learning in an increasingly changing world with many exciting opportunities and our curriculum is designed with this in mind. Every student has different abilities, aptitudes and interests and we work hard to ensure that each experience is relevant, engaging and successful in terms of public examination results and initiative, independence and imagination.

Learning Support

We believe that students achieve their best when they are confident and secure, where there is mutual respect and trust and where help and support is always at hand. We are very proud of the quality of relationships and close partnerships which exist between home and school. Our students mature in a caring, supportive and well-ordered learning environment. Traditional values of hard work, respect for each other and high personal standards of dress and behaviour are encouraged at all times.
