Academic Reference

At Ashbourne, the applicant’s personal tutor will write their reference. A good reference needs to be earned and the tutors will be honest and frank. Personal tutors may contact previous schools to obtain further reference information. The best way for an applicant to earn a good reference is to be a good student. Applicants should ensure that they are on time for lessons and with homework, avoiding creating unnecessary work for your tutors. They should participate with enthusiasm in classes, and be consistent in their approach to work.

Good Student?

It is not unknown for a tutor to retract a reference later in the academic year for a student who initially impressed but then lapsed into bad habits! Therefore, the applicants consistent effort needs to be maintained throughout the school year.
