Activities

You will not want to spend all your time in the classroom. Developing interests, friendships and a social life is also very important so we offer lots of activities in Sixth Form for you to pursue. Ashville students perform in rock bands, sing in the choir, play bridge, go rock climbing, and win prizes for public speaking and dramatic performances.

Further Afield

We encourage everyone to take part in charitable activities that help both the local and wider communities. Some of our students are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, which helps them to help other people and also gives them a chance to go on expeditions. Travel is an important part of education in Sixth Form. Many students go overseas in connection with their studies and every two years, we send students to Malawi to help out in an orphanage established by an ex-Ashville teacher.

Sporting Excellence

Ashville has excellent sports facilities including playing fields, tennis courts, a fully equipped sports centre and heated indoor swimming pool. Our performance on the rugby pitch is recognised throughout the North of England and we are also a force to be reckoned with in cricket and netball.

Balance

Underpinning everything we do is our belief in you and your abilities. That belief helps us to offer a broad and balanced education that will help you to make the most of your future.
