Ashley Manor News...
Year 3 finished off their drawing project by creating a large collaborative piece of art. After being inspired by the performance artist, Heather Hansen, the children used their new two handed drawing skills to create a gestural piece, allowing classical music to guide their mark making.

Do you know a family considering a Gloucestershire grammar school for their child?
The 11+ is changing. From the test in July 2027 (for entry in September 2028), Future Stories Community Enterprise (FSCE) replaces GL Assessment, with a greater focus on applying English, Maths and learning from across the primary curriculum. Children currently in Year 5 will sit the new test next July.
Ashley Manor Prep’s FREE 11+ Potential Morning is an opportunity to explore your child’s strengths and understand their next steps.
📅 Friday 6th November 2026
🕘 9.00am to 1.00pm
👧🧒 Open to children in Years 3 to 5
Children will complete a supportive assessment exploring skills relevant to the new approach, including understanding language, mathematical thinking and problem-solving.
They will also enjoy time in our 45 acres of parkland and join a class for a lesson: a chance to experience the broad learning and curiosity the new test encourages.
Parents will receive detailed feedback on their child’s strengths, areas for development and next steps, alongside information about the new test arrangements.
Places are limited. Book your child’s free assessment place and discover how we can support their next steps.
