Ashgate Croft School

Everything we do is to support pupils in ‘building skills for life’

We work to ensure that every pupil is equipped with the skills they need to lead independent and fulfilling lives.

I’m Jenny Dodds, Headteacher at Ashgate Croft Special School, and I’m delighted to welcome you to our school website.

About Us

Ashgate Croft School is a designated Area Special School within the Derbyshire Local Authority. While our allocated capacity is 148 places, we are currently oversubscribed, with 161 pupils enrolled from Year R to Year 14.

Our pupils have a wide range of cognitive and physical abilities, requiring specialist support to meet their individual needs.
We cater to children and young people with severe learning difficulties who would find it challenging to thrive in a mainstream school setting.
