Ashmole Academy is a unique school, united by our unwavering commitment to our motto: Excellence, Aspiration and Care. These principles underpin everything we do, creating a culture in which every student is valued, encouraged and inspired to achieve their very best.

Our dedicated, conscientious and passionate staff are committed to delivering high quality inclusive teaching and learning. Through high expectations, expert guidance and unwavering support, we ensure that every student is challenged to fulfil their academic potential, develop as confident and compassionate individuals, and leave Ashmole Academy equipped to thrive in an ever-changing world.

We empower our students to be curious, resilient and ambitious, equipping them with the confidence to embrace new challenges and make a positive impact on the world. High expectations are at the heart of our school, both academically and in personal development, guided by our six core values: Endeavour, Reflection, Professionalism, Responsibility, Respect and Co-operation. These values encourage our students to become compassionate, responsible and confident young people who are well prepared for life beyond school.

Ashmole Academy has a long-standing reputation for academic excellence. Our students consistently achieve exceptional outcomes at both GCSE and A Level. At GCSE, they significantly outperform local and national averages across all four key performance measures. Our Progress 8 score remains close to +1, demonstrating that, on average, students achieve around one grade higher per subject across eight qualifications, including English, Mathematics and English Baccalaureate subjects, than students nationally with similar starting points. These outstanding results reflect the dedication of our students, the expertise of our staff and the strength of our ambitious curriculum.

Our students are proud to be part of the Ashmole community and enjoy a genuine sense of belonging. They embrace the wide range of enrichment opportunities available, including sport, the performing and creative arts, music, educational visits and leadership programmes, all of which foster creativity, independence and confidence. Student voice is central to life at Ashmole, and through our inclusive leadership opportunities, students play an active role in shaping and continually improving our school.

It is an immense privilege to serve as Headteacher of Ashmole Academy. I am incredibly proud of our students, staff and wider community, whose commitment and enthusiasm make our school such a special place to learn and grow. I hope this prospectus provides a glimpse of the opportunities, achievements and values that define Ashmole Academy, and I look forward to welcoming you to our school.
