🌟 Where next for our A Level pupils?

From Durham and Manchester to Exeter and Nottingham, our pupils are heading to universities across the UK. This graphic showcases just a selection of the universities they will be attending.

Here are a few words from Mr Currie, Headmaster of Ashford School:

"We are so proud of our pupils who have done incredibly well in their public examinations. The list of future destinations is impressive, and it has been a delight to hear from pupils and parents about the next steps in their education. As ever, we look forward to hearing about all of their achievements in the years to come. Very well done!"

We are delighted to share that Ashford School has been awarded the School Games Platinum Sports Mark Award!

This Government-led award recognises schools for their commitment to developing sport and competition both within school and across the wider community. Achieving Platinum status is a particularly special milestone, as it requires schools to have held Gold-level status for four consecutive years.

Congratulations to all our pupils who have represented the School this year, and thank you to the young volunteers, leaders and officials who have helped make these opportunities possible.

This achievement reflects the dedication, teamwork and passion for sport across our whole school community and we are incredibly proud!

Yesterday, four of our pupils took part in a spectacular concert at Benenden School, marking the culmination of a week-long residential course with the Kent County Youth Orchestra.

During the course, they benefited from sectional rehearsals with professional tutors and had the opportunity of working with Michael Seal, Associate Conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO). The programme featured Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 1.

Earlier this term, pupils from across the year groups had the opportunity to take part in a fantastic poetry workshop hosted by the Canterbury Arts Festival.

We were delighted to welcome local poet Charlotte Cornell, who led the workshop and was a real inspiration to our pupils. She encouraged them to be creative, express their ideas and grow in confidence as writers.

✨ Our Summer Achievement Assembly was a wonderful celebration of the many successes and accomplishments achieved by our pupils this term.

With points from all Summer Term events added to those accumulated throughout the Autumn and Spring Terms, the final House standings for the year are:
🥇 1st: Nightingale
🥈 2nd: Thimann
🥉 3rd: Atkins
🏅 4th: Newfoundland

Congratulations to all pupils for their determination and teamwork throughout the year, and a special well done to Nightingale House for finishing as overall House Champions!

More House results and photos from the Summer Achievement Assembly can be found at www.ashfordschool.co.uk/summer-term-achievements-2026

These photos were taken by our Boarders during a recent trip to Rye Harbour Nature Reserve. With beautiful scenery and plenty of wildlife to spot, the reserve provided a great opportunity for pupils to practise their photography and enjoy the outdoors.

As part of boarding life, pupils regularly visit beautiful places, explore new surroundings and enjoy new experiences. These trips are a great way for them to discover places they might not otherwise have the chance to visit.
