Welcome to The SASH School

- an exciting new secondary free school
focusing on creativity, innovation and leadership.

On February 22nd 2012, the Slough Association of Secondary Headteachers (SASH) submitted a proposal to the Department for Education to open this exciting new secondary free school in 2014.

We will not know if we have been successful until the summer but meanwhile to find out more please go to the Consultation page on this website or contact us by email on: information@SASHeducation.co.uk.

We will keep this website updated as plans develop so do watch this space!

The Headteachers of all thirteen secondary schools in Slough, both all ability and grammar, are working together to set up the free school, bringing together all that is best in education in Slough.

A free school is an all-ability state-funded school set up in response to what local people say they want and need in order to improve education for children in their community.

The SASH School will provide an innovative curriculum responsive to the employment needs of the business community and play an important part in local regeneration.

There is a real need for extra secondary school places in the area over the next ten years. The existing secondary schools will not be able to provide enough additional places. The SASH School, when full, will provide an extra 900 secondary school places plus a sixth form. The school will include a facility for young people who need additional support for learning.
