Sustainability and the Environment

At Ashmead we believe in the importance of sustainability and the environment.

Our Lewisham Way building, which opened in 2021, has a high-quality built-in air filtration system due to its location.

We have worked closely with the local authority and our School Council to make children and families aware of the risks to children’s health of poor air quality caused by idling car engines.

Following this project we worked with the local authority to introduce a School Street on Ashmead Road. Since its introduction the air quality that children experience on that road has dramatically improved.

We have also worked closely with our PTA on these important issues, e.g. through a playground planting group and supporting proposals to improve our local park.
