Delve into the forgotten treasures of our school's past and help us to preserve our heritage.
Currently housed in Nightingale on East Hill, our archive collection is a treasure trove of Ashford School and Friars memorabilia, including photographs, fascinating objects, and documents.
We're dedicated to preserving this legacy and we invite you to join us - share or donate your school keepsakes, photographs, or documents to ensure that future generations can connect with our heritage.
Jenny Watson-Bore (Former Teacher of English & Head Librarian, 2010) and Angela Burrill (Former Teacher of English) are our Lead Archivists.
Sandy Wootton (Former Assistant Librarian) is our Archivist who focuses on materials from Ashford Junior School.
Julia Smith was receptionist at Ashford School for 24 years, retiring in 2022. She is one our volunteer archivists, and brings with her a wealth of knowledge on the history of the School.
We've meticulously organised and preserved a sample of our valuable collection of photographs, publications, and documents, making them accessible online to all alumni, parents, and current pupils.
Discover hidden gems like Patricia Earlam's Centenary History of Ashford School. This captivating 160-page chronicle, curated by the former Senior Mistress, offers a comprehensive look at the school's evolution. A must-read for anyone connected to Ashford, regardless of when they attended.
