In spring 2022 the Student Council felt a school mascot would be great to help communicate messages in a different way. Our 6th class at the time was very creative so we asked them to come up with some designs.

 

The River Vartry passes through Ashford and a heron has had pride and place on the weir for years. Misha designed this beautiful character.

 

A further competition to name this character as 'Ash' was unanimous. The character was 'enrolled' and is loved by all around the school.
