About Ashbourne Independent Sixth-form College, London

Excellent exam results

Ashbourne students consistently achieve excellent exam results keeping the college in the two top of the league tables for similar private sixth forms. These results are truly a credit to our ambitious, determined and hard working students and the dedication and professionalism of our teachers.

Individual attention

Ashbourne is different from traditional schools. We offer an adult-approach to learning where students are on a first-name basis with their teachers and receive high quality tuition in small groups providing exceptional levels of individual attention. This offers students the space and opportunity to explore and develop their ideas and build the confidence they need to become independent thinkers and excel.

Our personal tutoring system is key to providing excellent support and promoting positive and inclusive relations between all students, teachers and staff. Ashbourne also runs an exciting enrichment programme offering fantastic opportunities for students to discover new ideas, be creative, develop skills, have fun and make great friends along the way.

Ashbourne students are personally guided through every step of their university application process by an experienced and dedicated UCAS tutor.

We organise visits to local universities including UCL, Imperial College, King’s College and LSE, and invite representatives from UK universities, including Cambridge, Bristol and Edinburgh, to speak with our students at the college.
