What the school offers its staff
Ash Hill Academy serves a local community which has its roots in industry and is easily accessible from the M18 or and M180. Many students, but not all, live within walking distance. There has been a recent surge in popularity with the overall number of children on roll rising sharply.
The Academy prides itself on providing its students with a first class education. Since joining Delta Academies Trust, the school has moved on a strong upward trajectory. Huge improvements in the quality of education have seen academic outcomes improve significantly with levels of student, staff and parent satisfaction that has never been better.
Ofsted judges us a ‘Good’ school and we have secured the IQM Centre of Excellence for Inclusion.
There has been a huge investment across the site. We have a new £multi million all purpose building and we are currently building a state of the art ports centre, which will open in February 2024.
Our staff are talented and enthusiastic and have all contributed to the academy’s success story. We have a staff rewards budget and socialise both as subject teams and as a whole staff. We also have access to a staff benefits scheme. At Ash Hill Academy, we value the continuous professional development of all our employees and recognise that our staff and students are most successful when they feel happy, valued, challenged and supported to achieve their very best.
