Connect with Top-Rated Primary Schools in Ilkley!

Ashlands is a community school in the heart of Ilkley and has been serving families for more than 70 years. We are in an enviable position - at the foot of the beautiful Ilkley Moor, overlooked by the world famous Cow and Calf rocks. We focus our provision on the education of the whole child: academic, spiritual, emotional, cultural and physical. It is essential that each child develops a strong work ethic, learning to challenge themselves to be the very best version of themselves. Our dedicated staff teach with determination and enthusiasm, through an increasingly rich, colourful and varied curriculum.

Menston Primary School is a warm, friendly and successful school full of brilliant people (most of them under 12 years old!). Our children are fabulous, caring about their friends, school and world, and they work hard to learn and to teach each other interesting, useful things. We provide regular opportunities for Learning Outside the Classroom, including running the Daily Mile, pond dipping, minibeast hunting and den building or just being outdoors and learning about the natural world. Our children have taught us that the school should be 'Making our World a Better Place.' So that is what we work together to do - every day.
