Ashbourne is one of the best colleges in London and has been delivering highly successful A-level courses for more than 40 years.

Our students consistently perform at the highest academic levels, with an impressive ten-year average of 51% achieving A* or A grades at A-level. In 2024/25 this rose to 52%, including 23% at A*. This sustained success reflects not only the calibre of our students but also the rigorous academic culture we foster.

We are committed to raising achievement year after year. We do this through a wide range of strategies designed to support, challenge, and inspire. These include small class sizes, close monitoring of academic progress, tailored support plans, and targeted revision programmes. Our teachers are passionate subject specialists who take the time to get to know their students, offering regular one-to-one support outside of lessons.

Above all, we treat every student as an individual. Whether they are aiming for the top grades or need more support to get there, we help them find the learning style, pace, and guidance that suits them best. This personalised approach is at the heart of the College’s academic success.

Each year, many of our students progress to leading UK universities, including Cambridge, Imperial, and Warwick. Over the past decade, UCL has been the most popular destination for our graduates, including those in the 2025 cohort. In each of the past five years, over 60% of Ashbourne students have secured places at Russell Group universities, highlighting our consistent record of academic success and university progression.

University preparation is embedded throughout a student’s journey at Ashbourne. From Year 10 to Year 12, every student is assigned a Personal Tutor who meets with them weekly to review academic progress, set goals, and provide tailored support. In Year 13, students work closely with a dedicated UCAS tutor who offers one-to-one guidance on applications, personal statements, and admissions tests.

Students who join in September can also request university preparation support before the start of term. For those considering international options, we provide expert guidance for applications to institutions in the US, Europe, and beyond.
