The Echelford Primary School

Echelford Primary School is a large, friendly, three form entry primary school in Ashford, Middlesex with a diverse catchment and a wonderful team spirit.

Echelford is an inclusive primary school where everyone learns in an environment which encourages individuals to realise their own self-worth. We are committed to enabling opportunities to discover confidence, develop independence and build resilience so that individuals realise their own unique value and thrive both in our community and beyond.
We are also committed to training the next generation of teachers and have been heavily involved in teacher training for the past decade. Many of our current teachers and senior leaders did their initial teacher training with us.
