About Ashbourne
Established over 40 years ago, Ashbourne has become one of the best private colleges for A levels in the UK. Distinguishing itself in many ways, including exam results, individual attention and facilities, it aims to be the best college overall for A levels in the UK.
Ethos and culture
At Ashbourne, there are no uniforms, no assemblies, no school dinners and the relations between teacher and student are informal, vital and strong. This type of relationship is encouraged by the lack of formality and the opportunities for engagement provided by small classes. Unusually for a private college, Ashbourne is selective; most importantly, the college reserves the right to deny any student the opportunity to advance from year 12 to year 13 if they have not reached a sufficiently high academic standard. All students are expected to work hard and do their best to achieve their potential. There is a ‘100%’ rule for the submission of homework and a shared ethos of aiming high and doing your best.
