Our Harvest donations showcased as an Ashford School crest! Congrats to Y12 students Chloe & Izzy, who as part of their @DofE Gold Award helped manage the appeal. These donations will provide vital support to those in our community who struggle to afford food. @FareShareKent

A few Yr5 primary schools spent the day @AshfordSchool today. A #HarryPotter style event saw students create their very own dragon wings. Ethanol was then combusted by our own #Wizard. Needs volume turned up!

My familiar and I are enjoying the amazing #HarryPotter themed lunch from the @AshfordSchool Refectory.

@AshfordEAL yr. 9s have consulted a wide range of resources and inspiration in @AshfordSchLib or online(@_BTO, @Natures_Voice) for their migratory birds presentations for tomorrow. Will we hear interesting facts, linguistic signposts and varied natural world vocabulary?

Celebrating #WorldDraculaDay in the Somerville Library today. This is of particular interest to Year 8 who are studying the #Gothic in @AshfordEnglish lessons.

[Ashford English @AshfordEnglish]

Year 8 have been embracing everything Gothic this term with some brilliant research into different Gothic texts. Do check out our KS3 Gothic reads in the Somerville Library @AshfordSchLib

Showcasing this term’s @AshfordEnglish topics for Years 7 and 8.

(Not that I ever need much [i.e. any] persuasion to showcase #Shakespeare and the #Gothic…)

Looking forward to welcoming both year groups in their next library lessons.

Fascinated to learn that there used to be an 18th century bell on the roof of what is now the Somerville Library. Not exactly ideal in this 21st century silent study area but fascinating nonetheless!

Read the replies to @AshfordAlumni’s tweet to hear the bell being rung.

[Ashford School Alumni @AshfordAlumni]

Looking through the 1936 School Ties, we were drawn to the intro of the School Bell - found on the roof over Somerville & rung outside the window of Alfred cloakroom.

Who was in charge of ringing the bell? Did it signify the end of lessons? What are your stories?

Celebrating #InternationalWomensDay in @AshfordSchool’s Somerville Library, a place at the heart of the School and named in memory of a pioneering woman. #InspiringMinds

As part of our World Book Day celebrations, Year 7 and 8 got to experience a talk from the author Alan Durant today, delivering a session about his poetry and novels!

[Ashford English @AshfordEnglish]

We celebrated World Book Day yesterday throughout the day! It was fantastic to hear the students and staff discussing their favourite books and their current reads. Let's keep sharing! Suggested reading lists can be found here: https://t.co/KZgIan1MXv

Year 8 had an exciting opportunity to discuss their favourite books with their classmates on World Book Day. We had an eclectic mix of favourites! @WorldBookDayUK

[Ashford EAL @AshfordEAL]
