Academic excellence with an holistic approach.
At Ashville we develop 'future-ready' individuals. We have had the best A Level results in Harrogate for the last four years and are within the Top Ten Independent Schools in the North (Sunday Times Parent Power Guide, 2026). Pupils head to leading universities, international institutions and prestigious global organisations. We are very proud of them and their achievements.
A LEVEL AND GCSE results
With over a third of grades achieving A* or A in 2026 for A Level and BTEC and excellent GCSE results, our results are testament to Ashville’s culture of academic aspiration, and our commitment to ensuring our pupils are individually supported and prepared for the next steps in life. The last 5 years have been the most successful in the history of the school with a number of record results at both A Level and GCSE.

Pupils leaving Ashville follow a range of pathways including Russell Group Universities and Guardian Top 30 Universities, sought-after apprenticeships, employment and starting their own businesses. A superb 98% of pupils attained places at their chosen universities in 2026.
sought-after apprenticeships with ‘the Big 4’
Among the many personal Ashville triumphs in 2026 is Deputy Head Boy, Ben, who has secured a coveted apprenticeship with EY (Ernst & Young).
This rare accolade marks the second consecutive year Ashville pupils have been awarded a coveted position with the ‘Big 4’ global professional services leader.
Ben, who combined his A Level studies with a passion for rugby and Mathematics during his time at Ashville, said:
“Getting an apprenticeship with EY is an incredible opportunity and I’m proud to have secured my place and be part of their world. It’s an exciting launchpad for my career, gaining hands-on experience with such a global organisation while working towards my professional qualification equivalent to a master's degree."
"It feels like the perfect next step, and I can’t wait to get started. I would also like to thank the Ashville teaching community for all the support and guidance I have received to enable me to reach this milestone.”
