At Ashby School, we have been delivering outstanding education and opportunities to students for more than 450 years.

We draw on the latest and most innovative teaching practices to create a vibrant and well-equipped learning environment, and are proud of our reputation for consistently high academic aspirations and achievements. 

Our commitment to an open curriculum means students can choose from traditional core subjects as well as from our thriving sport, languages, design and arts provision. 

The school has more than 1,700 students on roll, including 600 in our thriving Sixth Form.


Empowering Learning

At Ashby School, we have a passion for learning.

All students are given every opportunity to achieve their academic potential, supported by high standards of teaching. The majority of Year 10 and 11 lessons take place in specialist and/or refurbished classrooms on our dedicated KS4 campus.  

Students of all abilities are encouraged to aim high.

Academic extension activities such as after school study sessions run all year round. We offer a rich and vibrant programme of extra-curricular activities, including an active performing arts scene, several musical ensembles, and numerous sporting clubs and competitions for young sportsmen and women of all abilities.

Other options include the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, peer mentoring and educational visits. 

Empowering Wellbeing 

The safety and wellbeing of students is our top priority.

We understand that students are more likely to thrive in a caring and supportive environment.

That is why we strive to ensure every student gets the support they need. Form Tutors establish strong relationships with students, guiding them through any issues and carefully monitoring their academic and personal progress. Form Tutors are supported by a dedicated pastoral team, including Heads of Year and Year Tutors, who are experienced at dealing with issues such as health, attendance and behaviour.  

Empowering Achievement 

Ashby School has been educating and inspiring students since 1567.

We are proud of our history and continue to uphold many of the core values that have been embedded in Ashby’s long-standing educational tradition for more than four centuries.

Like our predecessors, we recognise the importance of a happy and holistic school experience. That’s why we encourage students to flourish as individuals and to explore talents and opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.

Above all, we want our students to enjoy their time at Ashby School and to leave us for the next stage of their journey with happy and lasting memories.
