Spring 2026

Cover Story: On Top of the World!

On top of the world! Our pupils conquer the slopes as school trips programme tops 50,000 miles of global opportunities.

Pupils from Ashville continue to scale new heights through a rich and growing programme of academic and sporting trips around the globe – the most recent seeing more than 100 taking to the slopes on two skiing adventures. Year 9 and Sixth Form pupils from Ashville enjoyed making memories, whilst developing independence, teamwork, friendships and a strong sense of community both on and off the slopes.

The ski trips are just two highlights in a packed programme that give pupils thrilling experiences across their school career, while broadening perspectives, building confidence and discovering deeper love of learning.

These opportunities see Ashville pupils and staff travel over 50,000 miles each year – the equivalent of going twice around the world.

Among the highlights are Geography field trips to Iceland, the Lake District, and the Holderness Coast; a Science trip to Switzerland; History and Politics trips to New York and Washington DC; Modern Languages trips and Music tours to a variety of European cities; an inspiring community project expedition to Malawi; and a “once in a lifetime” sports tour across South Africa.

Rhiannon Wilkinson, Head of Ashville, said: “Not only are we a top performing school academically with the best A Level grades in Harrogate according to The Sunday Times, we are also at the forefront of supporting pupils to be ‘life ready’.

“Opportunities to take part in trips, our growing range of more than 150 co-curricular activities and other opportunities outside the classroom, play a key role in nurturing their personal growth and development.

“As a co-educational school approaching 150 years, this rounded and holistic education offers a different dimension, ensuring boys and girls of all ages have the chance to develop aspects of their personality and character which academic work alone cannot reach.

“This global programme of trips complements our bespoke Future Ready programme, designed to equip our pupils with the skills and confidence to thrive in an ever-changing world.”

In the most recent trips, Year 9 skiers headed to Folgarida, in the Italian Trentino region, while Sixth Formers headed to Les Deux Alpes, a high-altitude French ski resort.

Ski Trips

Our dedicated staff accompanied almost 100 children on two fantastic ski trips during the Christmas holidays.

Year 9s headed to Folgarida, situated in the sun-drenched Val di Solie in the Italian Trentino region. It is an excellent location for school groups as it offers the perfect balance of manageable terrain for beginners, with excellent nursery slopes at the top of the main gondola so they can immediately enjoy the stunning views, and exciting challenges for intermediates with around 60km of wide, well-groomed blues and reds that wind through the picturesque forests.

Ashville has been taking pupils to Folgarida for over 10 years and staff are always delighted to see familiar faces amongst the ski instructors who never fail to impress with their ability to get the very best out of skiers at every level. It is amazing to see confidence soar as pupils take on new challenges each day fuelled by pizza, pasta and hot chocolate!

Evenings were filled with organised entertainment with everyone strutting down the catwalk for Folgarida’s Next Top Model, a karaoke showdown where Ashville’s fabulous singing talent was on display, and fierce rivalry at the PopMaster Quiz saw staff lose their crown this year with three pupil teams tying for the win!

Meanwhile, Sixth Formers headed to Les Deux Alpes, a high-altitude French ski resort in the Isère region, sitting at around 1,650m and rising all the way to a remarkable 3,600m. One of the standout features of Les Deux Alpes is its exceptional reliability for snow.

Life in the resort is vibrant, with plenty to do on and off the slopes. Glorious weather and excellent conditions made for fantastic progress for all skiers and evenings were spent with staff and pupils battling it out at laser quest, karaoke, pool and darts.

Physicists Trip to the European Centre for Nuclear Research

Year 13 scientists headed off to Geneva to visit the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) and other scientific and cultural attractions. After an early start, they arrived safely and dropped luggage at the youth hostel before walking around Lake Geneva, admiring the Jet d’Eau on the way. They explored the old town and visited Maison Tavel, the oldest privately owned house in Geneva, and now home to a museum of Genevan history.

The following morning, they took the tram and bus up the Geneva Bioparc to see Janus, a two headed tortoise, temporarily resident there while his regular home, the Museum of Natural History, undergoes renovation. Despite the drizzly weather, pupils enjoyed seeing the range of other inhabitants of the park, many of whom were rescued or rehomed from unsuitable owners. The group then travelled back down to the Place de la Nations and walked past the United Nations headquarters on their way to the museum of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent. Here pupils appreciated another aspect of collaboration and cooperation that Geneva is famed for, respectfully taking on board the dignified and sometimes harrowing exhibitions about the history and work of the RCRC organisation.

They also enjoyed testing their teamwork and communication skills with the disaster relief game, working together to save as many islanders as possible from a hurricane. They then walked down through the beautiful botanical gardens to the Museum of History of Science, where pupils were fascinated by the various historical instruments and artefacts on display, along with a temporary anatomy exhibit.

To round off a very full day they enjoyed a leisurely cruise on a vintage paddle steamer around Lake Geneva. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the trip was the visit to CERN and the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest science experiment and one of the largest scientific collaborations, involving thousands of scientists from over one hundred countries. Pupils first enjoyed a guided tour around parts of the complex, visiting the synchrocyclotron, the first particle accelerator built at CERN and the more contemporary facility of the Antimatter Factory, where anti-hydrogen anti-atoms are made and their properties tested. They then spent the afternoon exploring the Science Gateway, the new visitor facility at CERN where pupils learnt about the technology of the LHC, plans for the Future Circular Collider – an even bigger particle accelerator - the quantum world and the history of the Universe. Filled to the brim with mind blowing ideas about the weirdness of the world around us, there was just time for a quick stop off at Balexert shopping centre before it was time to collect luggage and head back to Geneva airport to fly home.

Out and About

GCSE Food and Nutrition Trip - Sykes House Farm

Year 11 GCSE Food and Nutrition pupils enjoyed a memorable day at a third generation farm set in the stunning Yorkshire countryside, Sykes House Farm of Wetherby, where they began their day with a bacon sandwich in the state-of-the-art kitchen before exploring the factory and meat production facilities.

Hosted by the team and guided by Chef Greg, pupils took part in a live butchery lesson, learning about the supply chain from field to fork and how ethically raised British meat supports local farmers. They discovered why meat is hung, dry aged and cured, including seeing a 28 day dry aged steak, and discussed provenance and sustainability, even noting that the building itself had been built sustainably.

Butcher Ben, expertly demonstrated how to de-bone and fillet a whole chicken, after which all pupils prepared their own. This was then used to make a grilled butterfly chicken burger and a fried chicken thigh and Chef Greg, reinforced the importance of food provenance and the role of marinating meat, while modelling valuable practical skills. Chef Spencer, whose passion for food was clear throughout, showed pupils how to make mayonnaise from scratch to create a healthy homemade slaw, which we all then enjoyed on a quick lunch break.

Pupils left feeling inspired by Chef Greg’s expertise and knowledge. Thank you to Year 11 parent Rachael Hirst from Sykes House Farm for facilitating this amazing trip.

Year 4 Trip to Magna Science Museum

Pupils in Year 4 had a fantastic and action-packed trip to Magna Science Adventure Centre. They enjoyed various hands-on learning experiences that brought science to life. One of the highlights of the

A Level Politics Trip to Parliament

Setting off bright and breezy, intrepid A Level Politics pupils and staff made their way down to London to find out more about how things work at the heart of British politics.

A tour of Parliament itself saw pupils step foot in the House of Lords in all its splendour and see first hand the House of Commons and Whips Offices. They also had the opportunity to speak to three serving aides who support different MPs and to question them about careers and a life involved in UK Politics. Following Parliament, pupils then had the chance to enter the UK Supreme Court – and were amazed by the accessibility, sitting in the Court as a live case was in session - while also having obligatory photo opportunities in the empty court rooms next door. A walking tour followed taking in the sights of Whitehall from Downing Street, the Cenotaph and key government offices, as well as some key London landmarks such as Trafalgar Square and Horseguards Parade. The day finished with some food and retail opportunities in Chinatown and Covent Garden before the train journey home.

A great opportunity for pupils to experience, question and see first-hand the very centre of British Politics – and perhaps to inspire a few of them who may one day be sat on those famous green benches! day was the impressive “Big Melt” show that is a mock demonstration showing how powerful electrodes heat metal to temperatures of up to 3000 degrees. What a great day of exploration, discovery and excitement!

Performing Arts

Performing arts at Ashville are vibrant, exciting and full of opportunity. Through drama, music and performance, every child is encouraged to step forward, discover their talents and build real confidence.

Year 3 performed The Gorgon’s Curse this half term. Based on the book Leo and The Gorgon’s Curse, which pupils have been reading in English, it has been adapted for the stage with songs by Mrs Weilding.

It tells the story of Leo, a young boy who takes on mythical monsters in ancient Greece.  Our story takes place in the city of Athens, where danger looms outside the walls and Athena sends heroes out to guard her people.  Leo discovers that things are not always as they first appear, and he makes an unexpected friend as well as realising that what really matters is kindness.

We were proud of all our Year 3 pupils who worked so hard to put on a fantasic performance for parents.

The Gorgon’s Curse

Singing nuns, acrobatic priests, and a disco ball...

Ashville at the Edinburgh Fringe

In July 2025, our talented actors in Senior School took centre stage in an open-air original rock musical with a difference - ‘Beth!’

‘Beth’ is a modern take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, written, composed, and directed by our Director of Performing Arts, Mr Karl Boyd. Audiences enjoyed a unique experience wearing headsets to hear the performances, pre-recorded in the studio, while pupils wowed them with their outstanding visual performances live in the school grounds.

In August 2026, Mr Boyd is taking ’Beth’ to the Edinburgh Fringe. Seven of our Old Ashvillians from the class of 2025 will be joining current pupils for an amazing week in Edinburgh.

If you would like to support the Ashville@Edinburgh Fringe Project please click here to donate to the JustGiving page. If your company would be interested in sponsorship opportunities please email Mr Boyd.

Charity, Community and Sustainability

Second Hand Book Sale

NFOA organised a second-hand book sale for children from Acorns through to Prep School. The books were generously donated by the children and purchased by other members of the school community. Everyone enjoyed selecting some exciting, new reading material and can’t wait to get into a good book. A great example of recycling and protecting the environment in addition to raising valuable funds for the College. Thank you NFOA!

Lend with Care

Lendwithcare.org is an innovative way to help people in developing countries transform their future. Set up by one of the world’s leading aid and development organisations, lendwithcare enables people to lend small sums of money directly to entrepreneurs in developing countries to help them start or grow a small business. This is a great opportunity to introduce your child to money matters.

To join the Ashville group:

1. Go to www.lendwithcare.org/teams or click on the left hand drop down box titled ‘Lend’ and select ‘Lending teams’.

2. Click on the ‘Filter results’ tab.

3. Search using the group name ‘Ashville’ in the search bar.

4. Click on ‘join group’ or ‘request to join group’ and you will become a member our group immediately.

Rather than receiving a one-off donation, the entrepreneurs pay the loan back to lenders, using the income from their growing business. And once repaid, lenders can choose to recycle that loan to support another entrepreneur or withdraw it.

Christingle

Pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 took part in our Christingle service, learning about kindness, love, and helping others. The Christingle symbol reminds us of Jesus as the Light of the World and the importance of sharing that light, particularly with those in need.

Charity Club Act of Kindness Week

Charity Club organised an Acts of Kindness week and prepared suggested actions for the children to take throughout the day to encourage additional care and support of one another and our wider community. It was wonderful to see children offering to help teachers and peers and to observe them reaching out to others to invite them to join in their games.

Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme

Our Lower Sixth Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award pupils were in school on a Sunday morning for some expedition training covering a variety of topics including food and equipment, hazards, emergency procedures and map reading. The afternoon was spent exploring the local countryside and practising navigation skills. Due to the fog, compass skills were a key feature of the training and the break to test out the gas stoves and make hot chocolate was definitely welcome!

The expedition is only one aspect of Gold DofE and our pupils are currently busy undertaking an interesting selection of activities for their volunteering, physical and skills sections. Team sports, cookery, peer mentoring, learning to drive, umpiring, playing instruments and martial arts are just some things chosen by our current Lower Sixth pupils.

Upper Sixth pupil Luke has been awarded his Gold DofE certificate. Luke is passionate about the Duke of Edinburgh Award and for the volunteering aspect he was a DofE Young Leader. His role involved giving talks in assembly about his experience of doing the Bronze and Gold Awards and teaching pupils everything from first aid to navigational skills. Luke completed the four day Gold expedition in June in the Lake District in very blustery conditions! For the skill aspect he learned to drive and for the residential he completed a Reach Outdoors programme in Devon. Throughout the week he did amazing activities such as coasteering, kayaking, outdoor climbing and bushcraft. After all his hard work, he is looking forward to his trip to Buckingham Palace to collect his award!

Languages

The MFL department decided to give pupils in Year 9 the fantastic opportunity to take part in a careers with languages webinar as they embark on choosing their options. The pupils had the opportunity to listen to four speakers showcasing different aspects of using languages in careers. Pupils also had the opportunity to ask questions and the speakers gave very engaging responses.

The first speaker talked about her background in languages, her studies in French and Business Management and how she started working at British Airways, where her languages were exceptionally useful. The second speaker was a linguist in the Royal Air Force. He explained how he came to join the RAF, how the RAF trained him to speak another language and how he uses his languages every single day. The third speaker was Italian and is currently studying French and Spanish with the Open University. As a mature student, she has had a fascinating career so far, using her languages to teach scuba diving across the world from Australia to Spain, Dominican Republic and Honduras. Our final speaker graduated in French and German, immediately after which she moved into a trilingual role in the City of London. More recently she has worked as International Services Manager for the Department of International Trade.

The speakers were fascinating and it was a really valuable experience for our Year 9s as they decide which direction they would like their futures to take.

The final school round of the Year 7 French Spelling Bee took place in the Soothill Hall and was a much anticipated event! Thirteen pupils had succeeded in the class rounds to enter this final round and it was great to see the enthusiasm as they entered the hall and wonderful to see the huge audience who had come to support their friends!

Mrs Costello began with the first round of words and pupils had to spell them in turn on their whiteboards. Mr Gavancho and Mrs McHugh were in charge of checking their answers and six were victorious in staying on the floor for the second round. Three pupils entered the final third round with the most tricky of all the spellings on the 150 word list given to pupils back in October.

The final, well-deserved, winner was Mathis and we were also delighted with Sienna-Lily and Matthew who performed exceptionally, and finished as the two runners up. Thank you to Mr Blakemore for his help with the running of the event and a huge well done to all the courageous participants!

Workshops and Speakers

Mike Dawson Leadership in Sport

We were thrilled to welcome Mr Mike Dawson to school, who inspired our Year 3 to Year 6 Prep pupils with a fantastic talk on leadership in sport and his exciting football journey.

A former professional footballer and now a TV sports commentator, Mike shared valuable insights from his career. Pupils enjoyed the opportunity to ask questions, look at his football kits, including his England caps and reflect on how his journey can inspire them as young leaders. An fanatastic experience for all!

Screen-Safe Sessions

Anna Sarjantson from Screen-Safe came into school to speak to pupils in Years 1 to 7, as well as running a session for parents. Screen-Safe’s aim is to empower parents, carers, and schools to raise digitally safe, confident children. Particular focus was to raise awareness of online risks such as cyberbullying, grooming and exposure to inappropriate content and to help families and educators take action by offering simple tools, practical strategies and ongoing support. The sessions for pupils were targeted appropriately for their age group whereas the parents’ session contained useful tips and information for all parents from Reception to Year 13.

Dr Aric Sigman Artificial Intelligence

We were delighted to welcome Dr Aric Sigman, one of the UK’s leading experts in health promotion and wellbeing for children and teenagers, and a returning speaker at Ashville.

Dr Sigman delivered a series of insightful talks on AI for pupils in Years 5 and Year 6, the Senior School and Sixth Form.

House News

Congratulations to everyone who has been involved in House events this half term. The House system is a great opportunity to take part in a wide range of competitions, and therefore to try something new and develop skills. It is competitive, but inclusivity is at the heart of it.

Senior House Debating

This half term representatives from each of the competitive houses came together to take part in the Senior House Debating competition. Each team was made up of pupils from Years 11, 12 and 13. Motions were released each Monday morning to allow teams time to meet and prepare their arguments ahead of the debates.

A broad range of thought-provoking topics have been explored, including political issues such as whether voting should be made mandatory, environmental challenges surrounding air travel and whether it should become significantly more expensive, and finally the philosophical question of whether money is the key to happiness. As ever, the quality of the speeches delivered was extremely high and the wide range of opinions were confidently expressed and thoughtfully justified by pupils.

Congratulations to Windermere, who emerged as overall victors, with Ellis and Riverdale finishing joint second and Duckworth taking fourth place. We look forward to continuing with debating over the coming months as the junior and intermediate pupils prepare for their debates early in the Summer Term.

Prep Multi Skills Competition

Pupils in Year 1 and 2 had the opportunity to take part in their second inter-house sports competition of the year. Pupils took part in a range of activities including speed bounce, standing long jump, shuttle run relays and target throw.

Led excellently by the Year 6 House Captains, all children took part in eight events and had a truly excellent time. Congratulations to winners Duckworth. Windermere and Riverdale came joint second and Ellis came fourth.

Table Tennis

Table tennis has seen a huge rise in popularity at Ashville recently, and thanks to a very generous donation from the New Friends of Ashville we have been able to purchase three new table tennis tables to meet the demand for participation. This year saw the first House competitions, which were hotly contested. Pupils participated in junior, inter and senior categories, in mixed teams of 4 players per House. Timed matches provided a frantic pace for the action as every second was an opportunity to score points.

Riverdale won the junior competition, with Duckworth victorious in the inters, and Windermere clinching the senior competition. Congratulations to everyone who took part.

National Competitions

Oxford Schools’ Debating Competition

Pupils travelled across the Penines through snowy conditions to Manchester to compete in the regional rounds of the Oxford Schools’ Debating Competition, alongside 20 other schools. Ashville was represented by six Year 12 pupils. The evening featured two challenging motions: This House supports eco-tourism and This House would legalise for-profit surrogacy. Both debates tested pupils’ knowledge of current affairs and their ability to engage critically with complex ethical issues. Pupils embraced the challenges with flair and enthusiasm. Arguments flew back and forth, with strong rebuttals delivered across the board, showcasing their ability to think on their feet and respond confidently in real time to opposing viewpoints.

Nottingham Schools’ Debating Competition

Pupils travelled to the University of Nottingham to take part in the Nottingham Schools’ Debating Competition. This competition is a true test of perseverance, requiring stamina and resilience throughout a full day of debating. Unlike the Oxford competition, all rounds are completed in one day, with our pupils beginning their first debate at 10am and finishing their fourth at 5.30pm.

The motions covered a wide range of political, social and literary themes:

• This House would implement mandatory conscription.

• This House supports gentle parenting.

• This House opposes the romanticisation of soulmates within modern literature.

• This House supports nationalising all public services.

Ashville entered four teams from Year 9 to Year 12. The quality of debate from all pupils was impressive, but the performance from our young pupils was particularly noteworthy. Despite some initial nerves, they quickly embraced the adrenaline of competition and demonstrated confidence, resilience and clear reasoning.

Looking Ahead

It is immensely rewarding to see debating continue to flourish at Ashville. The ability to think critically, engage thoughtfully and respond articulately to challenging topics is a powerful skill. Oracy and advocacy are invaluable beyond the school gates, helping pupils to sharpen their thinking and opening doors in future careers and life beyond Ashville.

Being a Sixth Former for the Day

We welcomed our Year 11 pupils, as well as external pupils, to our newly renovated Sixth Form Centre for a taste of SIX @ Ashville.

After a welcome breakfast, subject sessions were available to try in all of our A Level options, including subjects not offered lower down the school such as Politics, Psychology, Film Studies and the Cambridge Technical in Performing Arts, which is an industry recognised qualification.

Pupils got the chance to talk to current Year 12 pupils about life at Ashville Sixth Form in a relaxed Q&A session and learned about our Future Ready pathways to expand their horizons and choose opportunities and additional qualifications that really make a difference.

We will use the initial expressions of interest collated after Taster Day to form our options blocks. We form new options blocks each year in response to pupil preferences.

This enables us to meet the academic preferences of the majority of our pupils.

In the Spring Term current Sixth Formers will provide academic mentoring and revision support for Year 11 pupils in the run-up to exams. Their recent experience will prove invaluable.

Pupil Leadership, Friendships and Global Citizenship

Ashville Young Leaders

Ashville Young Leaders is a Prep School initiative that involves all pupils and helps us to further develop a shared culture of respect, kindness and positive behaviours.

Leadership might be showing kindness, standing up for others, making good choices, treating everyone with respect, including yourself, or showing determination and self-belief. The aim is to develop pupil-derived leadership attributes and simple guiding statements, help pupils understand what leadership looks like in real life, create a shared language across school and home, empower staff, pupils, and families to recognise leadership in action, and provide clear guiding statements we can refer to daily. Pupils are awarded ‘Leader of the Week’ in our Friday celebration assemblies.

Girls on Board sessions use a range of scenarios, role plays and discussion topics designed to evoke empathy. Fuelled by this empathy, girls in school are empowered to find resolutions to friendship turbulence for themselves, with teachers’ support.

URStrong

Another new Prep School initative:

When schools and families intentionally teach children how to communicate kindly, manage conflict, and understand what a healthy friendship looks and feels like, we are doing so much more than helping them “get along”. URSTRONG has improved the social climate in thousands of schools around the world and worked with over a million students, parents, and teachers. Underpinned by Friendology, a friendship skills curriculum, URSTRONG’s whole-school friendship strategy creates a common language of friendship in schools. Research shows that relationships are the heart of wellbeing and learning. When we get friendships right in schools, children flourish. Healthy relationships are the #1 predictor of happiness and success AND the top protective factor against mental health conditions and loneliness. Friendships are the most important relationship to kids. Friendship skills can (and must) be explicitly taught. URSTRONG uses kids’ language for kids’ problems with visual tools that click with how kids think & learn. Skillsbased curriculum for each stage of socialemotional development with common scenarios for role-playing to lock-in friendship skills.

Sport

We start this report by casting our minds back to the end of last term when the Year 9 Ski trip departed for the Italian Dolomites and the resort of Folgarida. This was our 10th trip to the resort and one that created memories that the 62 Year 9 pupils and accompanying staff will remember forever.

On return to school, the fixtures came in thick and fast with noticeable highlights coming from the U14 girls Netball squad who reached the Sisters in Sport National Trophy semifinal. They placed the highest out of all our teams in their respective national competitions.

Not to be outmatched, the U16 girls’ Netball squad progressed to the regional finals held in Sheffield. The standard of competition was naturally very high and the girls gave it their all and came a creditable 5th. Congratulations to Molly in Year 11 who was voted player of the tournament.

Congratulations to the U14 boys Hockey squad for their progression to regional finals of their National competition scheduled to be held in the first two weeks back.

U16 Netball Squad

Individual Achievements

Congratulations to Amelia in Year 11 who in the Winter National Swim meet in December, came 4th in the U17 50m Freestyle with a new Yorkshire record of 25.73 seconds. Amelia also secured personal best times in the 100m and 200m freestyle events and the 200m Individual Medley. A busy few months lie ahead for this talented athlete who is aiming to qualify for the British Championships in April that will act as trials for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in the summer. Amelia has also been awarded the Adrian Moorhouse Scholarship for 2025 by Yorkshire Swimming Association.

Amelia has been training with the National Performance Squad from a young age and was awarded this year’s Scholarship in recognition of her ability, high performance rankings and work ethic. She has shown excellent sportsmanship and acts as a role model for her peers and younger swimmers.

Congratulations to Seb in Year 12 who continues his county rugby journey with the Yorkshire Academy and has started several games now at no.12.

Congratulations must also go to Luke in Year 9 who has signed for Bradford City Football Academy. Testament to the hard work and commitment to all his sporting activities. Luke continues to strive forward with his football having also spent time on trial at Sheffield United.

We wish these three pupils and all Ashvillians every success.
