"Our family relocated to the UK from New Zealand this year due to a posting with the Defence Academy. From the moment we arrived at Ashbury School, we felt an immediate sense of welcome and support. Moving from a different education system meant our children were initially behind, but thanks to the incredible staff, they were swiftly brought up to speed and are now thriving.

The school’s care and attention to our children's emotional and academic needs has been exceptional. Whether it was supporting them through nervous moments or helping them catch up academically, every teacher and staff member has been truly invested in their success. The positive reinforcement and sense of community at Asbury are unmatched – all the children work together, look after each other, and foster an atmosphere of kindness and cooperation.

Ashbury isn’t just a school; it’s a special place where every individual’s contribution makes a real difference. We are incredibly grateful for everything the school has done for our children."

As an Armed Forces family, Ashbury provides the ideal stable, caring and close community environment for our young children. I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to all Armed Forces families, UK and international."

Service Children face unique challenges during transitions due to their mobile lifestyle. Challenges include gaps in learning, differences in curriculum, adapting to new environments and the potential stresses on the family associated with moving. Furthermore, Service Children often transition at irregular times throughout the school year, adding stressors like learning new school layouts and assimilating into established social groups. At Ashbury Primary School we understand the needs of our Service Children and strive to ensure every pupil has a positive transition experience through providing academic and emotional support.
