At Ash Grove School, we offer a structured and supportive daily routine designed to meet the diverse needs of our pupils across all pathways. Our school day is carefully planned to promote engagement, build stamina and create a sense of consistency and safety. Timings may vary slightly depending on the pathway a pupil is following, but all students benefit from a balanced mix of academic learning and therapeutic support, delivered in a structured and nurturing environment.
