School Description
Ashbourne College was founded in 1981 as a co-educational tutorial establishment specialising in pre-university education, particularly in mathematics, science and economics. Currently, the college offers a wide range of A-level and GCSE courses in small groups for those trying to improve previous examination grades as well as for those studying subjects for the first time. There are a small number of students of compulsory school age following pre-GCSE and GCSE courses. The college serves both home-based and international students who wish to attain good grades to gain entry to higher education. There are currently 155 students on roll, aged from 13 to 20. The college aims explicitly to promote high academic standards and develop students’ independent approach to study. The college, fully accredited by the Council of International schools, is located on two near-by sites in west London.
