Outstanding A Level Results

Ashbourne has been one of the best colleges in London for A levels for many years. Our students receive lots of individual attention, consistently achieve outstanding A level results and go on to top universities.

Ambitious and successful A level students

Ashbourne students consistently achieve outstanding A level results, far exceeding the national average.

Around 64% of our students applying for degree courses in the UK go on to study at Russell Group universities, including UCL, King’s College London, Imperial, Warwick and Cambridge.

We are very proud of our students’ achievement and acknowledge the primary importance of their effort. Without their ambition, determination and hard work, and the dedication and expertise of our teachers and staff, the college would not be as successful as it is.

“Pupils respect their teachers. They enjoy professional relationships. Staff have high aspirations for all pupils. In return, pupils are ambitious and driven to achieve the best possible results.” Outstanding, Ofsted Report 2021

Excellent performance improvement

Ashbourne is placed in the top 5% of UK schools and colleges that offer A levels as a result of the level of performance improvement each student achieves, or ‘value added’.
