The aims of an Ashville education

Ashville College is a Methodist School which fully endorses the aims of the Methodist Board of Education for all its schools. It seeks to achieve each of these aims in the interest of a supportive pastoral and management structure which treats each member of the community as a person of infinite worth to God.

Our aims are:

  • to be a caring Christian community committed to the development of the full potential of each individual having regard for their personal attributes in addition to their academic aspirations
  •  to maintain high educational standards in all their academic, cultural and sporting activities, stimulating excitement in learning and requiring discipline in study whatever the ability of the child
  • to work with and in the communities they serve
  •  to worship as Christians in the Methodist tradition; to uphold Christian values in practice as well as in theory and to make religious education a strong feature of the curriculum whilst welcoming members of other faiths (and none) in a spirit of openness and tolerance
  • to encourage pupils in a critical examination of the standards and values current in society and to discover and develop a personal faith to guide them throughout their lives

 

Ashville College values

Testimonials

“Charlie has enjoyed representing the School sports-wise because it punches above its weight in terms of size, which is due to the teachers and the kids being really motivated.”

“I don’t think it’s possible to pinpoint a single memory of my time at Ashville as you do and are involved in so much. It’s incredible to have these sorts of opportunities.”

“In Lower School you get a little booklet that helps you keep track of the different activities you’re doing, the values you’re working on, and you can get stamps for the different values. It really helps keep you focused and pushes you to do more.”
