From the Ashperton Primary Academy
In the Herefordshire community of Ashperton, which is located 5 miles from Ledbury, is where you'll find Ashperton School. We have 190 students enrolled, ranging in age from 4 to 11. The school's original structure dates back to the 19th century. In 1989, two new junior classes were added to the school, and last year, a three-classroom addition was constructed. This implies that students are instructed in bright, airy, and contemporary classrooms. In July 2015, the Victorian portion of the school underwent its final remodelling phase. Red Class (Reception), Purple Class (Year 1), and Orange Class are the names of the three infant classes (year 2). Green Class (year 3), Blue Class (year 4), Yellow Class (year 5) and Turquoise Class are the four junior classes (year 6). A "home" also includes the kids. House points are given to the kids for outstanding achievement, kindness or politeness, and all-around good behaviour. They collaborate in households and take part in team activities.
