学术情况
数学及科学专业Mathematics and Sciences：More than half of our students study mathematics in one form or another so our overall performance on exams depends on the performance in these subjects. As an example, in 2019 76% of exams in Further Mathematics and Physics resulted in A or A*. Many of our students win gold awards in the annual UKMT (United Kingdom Mathematics Trust) Senior Mathematics competition. A team of our students also finished in the top half of the natio nal competition organized by the UKMT, surpassing all Lo ndon day schools. Our students also participate in the Mathematics and Physics Olympiads and may study university level material and join our Astrophysics Club if they wish. Of course, our specialist Programmes for Engineering and Medicine depend on our excellence in these subjects.
工程类专业Engineering Programme (AEP) Ashbourne’s specialist Programmes offer support to students applying for particularly competitive and demanding university courses. They are effective ways of ensuring that such students are well-informed, well-organized, and well-prepared.
医学专业Medical School Programme (AMSP) The oldest of these Programmes, the Medical School Programme, has been helping prospective doctors, dentists and all students interested in medical-related courses for more than 30 years. Students are given support with their perso nal statements and interviews, as well as preparation for the BMAT and UCAT tests required by various medical schools. A successful medical application involves a wide range of extra-curricular activity, and our programme guides students towards relevant work experience. Finally, they are given essential insights and information through the seminars and talks from medical professio nals and past students. This course is led by Amy Youngman, a graduate in Neuroscience from King’s College London, who is also a Deputy Head of Sixth Form and Head of Faculty.
牛剑辅导项目Oxbridge Programme：This programme provides students with a clear structure for making a strong application to Oxford or Cambridge Universities, giving them mo nthly tasks that help them to make correct decisions and prepare themselves appropriately. Applicants to Oxford and Cambridge must be heading for outstanding A level results but there are many other ways in which they must show their suitability for these prestigious and demanding universities. Our programme covers all aspects of the Oxbridge application process, supporting students so that they can make sensible degree choices and engage in appropriate super-curricular activities before the formal application process begins. Participants will usually complete a 5000-word Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), which helps to demo nstrate their intellectual curiosity and ambition. They must also write a distinctive and pertinent perso nal statement. As well as supporting students in these tasks, the programme prepares them for the pre-interview assessment tests and interviews. The advice and support that Ashbourne offers its students has led to excellent results, with the University of Cambridge being one of our most popular university destinations in recent years. The programme is led by Will Stockland and Christopher Masters, who both studied at the University of Oxford.

学生如是说:
“What I like a bout Ashbourne is that everyone is enveloped into the really close-knit family, regardless of race or background. The teaching goes beyond simply imparting skills and knowledge, but also extends to encouraging and inspiring students, which makes learning a lot more enjoyable. The amount of passion that everyone has and the amount of individual attention the college gives to every student creates a pleasant and stimulating environment. Ashbourne has exceeded my expectations in so many ways, and I have really enjoyed my time here in the college.”
“Choosing to study at Ashbourne College is one of the best decisions that I have made. All the academic tutors gave me a lot of assistance when I prepared for the exams and interviews, especially the Director of Studies, John Wilson and Principal, Mike Kirby, who pushed me a lot when I prepared for the Cambridge University interview。“
“My whole time at Ashbourne College was a great experience! I loved the relatio nship between the students and staff including teachers, how you could approach anyone and be sure you'll get any help you needed. I loved the Euro trips, the yearly Christmas revue and the friends I made! :) And, they also helped me get into LSE! I miss Ashbourne!.”
“My time at Ashbourne was incredible! I made lifelong friendships and learnt how to be independent and manage my time well. For me, Ashbourne was a stepping stone between school and university where I was treated as an adult but was still given the guidance, I needed to achieve the results that I wanted to get. During my time there I learnt so much, not just a bout my subjects, but a bout myself. I came to Ashbourne with a dream to study Music at university and, I am unbelievably grateful that, with the help of the teachers at Ashbourne, I am now a second year Music student at Royal Holloway University of London, my first choice. I have genuinely never been happier.”
“Honestly, I had the best two years of my life as an A level student at Ashbourne. While attending music classes at Royal College of Music Junior Department on Saturdays, the flexibility of the time-table each of us gets from Ashbourne gave me plenty of time to practice on violin/harp. Not o nly did Ashbourne prepare me extremely well for the A level exams, the music opportunities I was exposed to during my time here really helped to develop myself into a better musician. We had at least one music co ncert every term, plenty of opportunities to play in ensembles as well as having our compositions performed by professio nal musicians! Ashbourne really focuses on bringing out the individuality and independence of its students. I am currently studying Instrumental Performance at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and am loving every second!”
“Being a student at Ashbourne College has given me the independence and co nfidence to co ntinue to University with ease. I began my two-year course unaware of what I wanted to co ntinue to do, but with the co nstant support of my teachers throughout my time, I was able to co nsider various options of further study with enthusiasm. After graduating from Ashbourne I plan to attend Kings College to study Psychology. The independence I have gained from Ashbourne means that I can co nfidently embark on the next chapter of my life. “
“During my three-year ride as an Asher, new doors opened up for me to a new world in which I found my true passion. It is encouraging independent learning while providing students with sufficient support when needed, along with its active, lively, and friendly atmosphere that give Ashbourne its uniqueness. The location is great and adds to the liveliness of the atmosphere. As far as academia is concerned, the necessary platform for success in most subject areas one might be interested in is provided. The rest is up to the individual.”
“During my time at Ashbourne, I always felt that the staff were very supportive and helpful. The atmosphere in the college was very friendly and open and it was easy to find people with common interests. The expertise of my teachers helped me expand my knowledge in various subjects, while their support and encouragement gave me the co nfidence to challenge myself intellectually. Alo ngside my French and Management course at King's College London, I am also going to take up Chinese and Spanish. After university, my aim is to go into the business sector and to start my own company.”
“Ashbourne was an amazing experience for me. My teachers were always on hand to help with any of my problems and ensure I achieved my maximum potential. The style of teaching was captivating and to such a high level that I believe it was key to my success at Ashbourne and for that I am unreservedly grateful.”
“All of the Ashbourne teachers are very kind and friendly. Our principle Mike really helped me a lot in my university application. I got many unforgettable experiences at Ashbourne such as UKMT Maths Challenge and UKMT Team Maths Challenge. I want to say thank you to all the teachers and staff who helped me in these two years.”
“I am very proud of the results that I have achieved. I believe that I could not have done it without the amazing support of the teachers at Ashbourne. I've made many friends and will not forget my time at Ashbourne as it has been the best. My next step is Medical School at St. George's, University of Lo ndon and will hopefully become a doctor.”
“Choosing to study at Ashbourne was one of my best decisions because I was so well cared for both academically and personally. This was especially true in preparing for my interview at Cambridge, for which I received a lot of help from my Perso nal Tutor.”
