A leading Harrogate school has been shortlisted for a prestigious national award.
Ashville Prep School, part of Ashville College, is the only prep school in the area to be shortlisted in the Independent School of the Year Awards 2024.
The awards, organised by Independent School Parent magazine, are in their seventh year and attract entries from hundreds of schools across the country.
Head of Prep School, Phil Soutar, said he was delighted the school’s achievements had been recognised at a national level.
He said:
“We have an incredible team of staff, and this is testament to their hard work and dedication.
"I’m proud to say our school is a shining example of exemplary education and we work hard to ensure our pupils have the best possible start in life.
“It’s wonderful that a national light has been shone on our everyday commitment and enthusiasm to education across all areas. Ashville continues to lead the way in primary school education in Harrogate and the surrounding area.
The finalists will be announced in September and the winners will be revealed at a glittering ceremony in London in October.
