Events
Annual Events at Askwith School:-
All classes take part in school visits to support their learning. These may include places of historical, geographical or scientific importance such as Harewood House, Bradford Industrial Museum, Brimham Rocks, Saltaire, the Ilkley Literature Festival, theatre productions, swimming lessons (key stage 2), museums and heritage sites. Children in years 5 and 6 take part in a residential visit to Seahouses in Northumberland. The PTA kindly subsidises coach travel costs for the above visits. We also take part in Askwith Village Show.
We are supported by an excellent PTA who organise fund raising events such as the Christmas Fair, summer barbecue and leavers’ disco for all children.
