Ashdell Preparatory School, Broomhill, Sheffield
A recent independent schools inspection found that "Ashdell is a warm, friendly and lively community in which exceptionally well behaved pupils enjoy achieving."
The school maintains a high pupil teacher ratio and the warm atmosphere ensures that all children are well known and individual needs are catered for.
The normal curriculum is enhanced by woodwork, IT, French from age 5, drama, ballet, pottery, cookery and sport including judo and fencing.
Music is one of Ashdell's strengths with 75 per cent of girls taking individual music lessons. The school has two choirs, a string group, flute choir and an orchestra.
Ashdell's continued success is in large part due to exceptional teaching methods and first class pastoral care aided by excellent facilities including a large music room, individual practice rooms, a science lab, latest smart-board technology, gym, art room, gardens and well equipped play areas. Ashdell runs a breakfast club and many after school activities, as well as after school care until 5pm.
