Welcome to our Website

This website is designed to introduce you to Ashton Keynes Primary School. We hope the information it contains will be helpful to you.

Ashton Keynes School is a Church of England Voluntary Controlled School. It is one of many Church of England schools in the Diocese of Bristol, educating many hundreds of children. As a Church school we try to be distinctive in our approach, emphasising the sense of being part of a much larger Christian family. We also take a pride in the inclusive nature of our school.

Ashton Keynes is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, near the border with Gloucestershire, about 6 miles south of Cirencester and 4 miles north of Cricklade. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 1,420.

The village lies within the Cotswold Water Park and is situated on the River Thames about 7 miles from its source near Kemble (Thames Head). In the late 1980s a large Romano-British settlement was excavated on the edge of the village, in advance of extensive gravel extraction.

The school has always served the local community, not just Christian families within it. The governors and staff therefore hope that everyone associated with the school will be able to feel a full member of our community.

Most important in the school are the people involved in it. We believe that the education of your child is a process that is shared between the children, parents, governors and staff. Our aim is to involve you as much as possible, through written communication, meetings with teachers, and general open meetings from time to time.
