Ashford School

Combined co-education school in Ashford, Kent

Ashford School, established in 1898 is an independent, co-educational, day and boarding school for children aged 3 months to 18 years. We offer an exceptional and inspiring education that promotes the happiness and success of all pupils. With 4 boarding houses on site, Ashford School enjoys the cultural diversity of students from more than 30 different countries. 

Parents choose Ashford School for many reasons: high academic success; we work very closely with our students, giving attention to the needs of the individual; small class sizes; our challenging and supportive environment; wide range of co-curricular activities; and our energetic, specialist teachers. Our learning is underpinned by four key factors: Celebrating Individuality, Optimising Potential, Academic Rigour and Adventurous Learning. We believe that learning should be challenging, motivating and lead to a sense of fulfilment, which is why we strive to provide an inspiring environment that encourages growth and adventure. In recent years, 91% of students secured their firm or insurance university choice with more than half gaining a place at a Russell Group University. 2023 saw the best GCSE results awarded to Ashford School students in the last 7 years. An impressive 90% of all grades were awarded at 9-5 (A*-B), with 53% of these being achieved at 9-7 (A*- A). With 40% of 2024 A’level grades A*-A and 68% A*-B.

We embrace individual talent and consider our School to be a place where students and staff are inspired and in turn inspire others.
